THREAT OF ENTRY BARGAINING POWER OF SUPPLIERS BARGAINING POWER OF BUYERS THREAT OF SUBSTITUTE RIVALRY OF NEW FIRMThursday, January 31, 2013 Presentation 29
Threat of New Entrants:Telecom is a very capital concentrated industry, entry into this industry means that the firms need access to huge amount of capital mainly to cover the fixed costs to lay and maintain a physical network (infrastructure, fiber optic cables etc) to the premises of customers The telecom industry is already dominated by major players and smaller manufacturers have to struggle, due to high setup costs and market dominations threat of new entrants is low because of following
High Government restrictions or legislation Telecom licenses, rights, regional licenses Expected Mergers and Acquisitions High fixed costs
High Capital requirementsAggressive competition
Consumer have high power because customer influence in pricing and shifts towards other sellers if he/she is not satisfied with the quality or price of the product or services. Consumers have very high buying power in telecom sector because though they have many options to choose from especially in Voice segmentThe increasing trend of communication like email, instant messaging, is declining the importance of voice services
Switching to another product is simple Customers are price sensitive Consumers have high product knowledge
Switching costs are lowAvailability of existing substitute products Plenty of choice of several technologies and other communication
means available, enhanced the buyers power.
There are many substitutes available in market. In case
of dissatisfaction with any of the feature customers can easily switch to the other because he/she has the almost exact or the same kind of substitutesSwitching power is high in telecom sector characterize by
high technological developments and fast availability of alternative substitutes. Substitutes include Broadband, Wireless broadband,
Digital TV, IP Telephony, Mobile phones, Satellite, Email, and Instant Messaging etc
Due to growth opportunities and government focus on the telecom sector, there is a strong likelihood that competition will gradually increase as new firms enter the industry. There are many existing competitors of world call. The intensity among current rivals is intense and they
are mostly competing on technological bases to create competitive advantages

Span of control or span of management is a dimension of organizational design measured by the number of subordinates that report directly to a given manager. This concept affects organization design in a variety of ways, including speed of communication flow, employee motivation, reporting relationships, and administrative overhead
Controlling

Presentation
79
There are three basic steps which involve measurement evaluation and correction. In both circles of control first extent of any problem must be measured then evaluated for different solutions and then corrected to attain total control over the rising issues.
Internal Control: In case of worldcall internal control is extremely lenient as far as their HR policies and empowerment is concerned they practice a blend of different strategies. It seems like they have implemented a multi layer and diverse system to ensure internal conrol, this looked quite well in our visit to worldcall
External Control: World call is struggling as far as their external control is concerned they failed to control the franchisees in their down stream hence their product availability collapsed. They also failed to integrate network expansion and they simply ignored the wi-max and cloud technology despite being the pioneers in the dongle internet.
Thursday, January 31, 2013
Presentation

THREE STEP CONTROLLING SYSTEM ANALYSIS OF WORLDCALLWorldcall simply failed to measure the severity of technology input by other competitors such as wi-tribs. Wateen captured a huge share of market with wi-max modems. This caused Worldcalls franchise network to collapse due to lack of control which is vital source of information and variables which must be measured. As there was a huge lack of measurement not only in the external circle but also it seems like they implemented and poorly measured very poor financial and internal policies which led to this situation. Evaluation was being done on vague measurements which eventually resulted in collapse and very low market share. They failed to measure the public interest in internet and telephony so they stopped their advertisement.
Suggestions about controlling
Internal control must be channelized and blended
with external control. Financial policies must be altered to gain control over market such as advert, franchisees and mass interaction. New product development is vital to gain external control over competition and innovation must be induced at every level.
World call is using Feedback controlling Mechanism.
Change management
Main Problems according to Management:World Call has totally changed system of management for the
company. Reducing of advertisements expense due to pressure of cost cutting. Same reasons for not having large Marketing staff. World Call emphasizing on ERP The delay in process of initiating an ERP. ERP is time-consuming process. New Managers are involved into current issues of the company. Previously they were multiple companies now all of the accounts have been reorganized and similar accounts have to be merged.
Giving unusual importance to LDI from very
beginning. Very weak franchising strategies. Franchises strength missing. Heavily lacking Long term strategies. Lack of use of BCG MATRIX for their product portfolio.
Market Penetration was earlier used in
Voice segment but now being avoided. Complains by customers due to conflict in network capacity and after sale services. Loosing potential buyers due to less Advertising. World Call is not involving low level staff in business matters.
The change process must be moved top to down
gradually by World Call. Every level of Management must be involved in the change process. Business Process Reengineering is preferable solution to WC over all problems. Using of BCG MATRIX is very important for WC to understand their DOG and STAR products. Customer complaints and customer churn rate can be reduced by sensible installing of networks and sales.
The whole experience of the customer from the first
interaction at the touch point to the consistent usage of the service will be enriched. Co-ordination between many Departments must be improved as soon as possible. World Call is coming up with Fresh Long term plans which are a good sign; well it is highly needed and must be implemented with unanimous agreement. The avoidance of market penetration will not benefit WC in long run, thus WC must behave more Competitive. WC must buy professional software. First of all, franchising strength must be increased all over the country, and then Franchises must be made more modern and must be made more productive in reference to services and sale.
WC having very strong physical network, the only need
is timely maintenance and proper resource utilization.
World Call is a competent telecom company in Pakistan with huge infrastructure and backed by strong parent company Oman tel. It has strong potential to compete and grow as a leading diverse telecom company. We have gone through analysis of World Call and studied almost every aspect of the company; we have recommended strategies, solutions to major problems faced by World Call. We also provided three year implementation plan that represent a clear growth strategy for World Call
