7. OBSERVATION AND RECOMMENDATION Planning

Observation: JTL activities were not object oriented. There have lots of gap between company planning and its activities. Management did not properly comply/ follow up companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget and planning to achieve the objective. Recommendation:

JTL management has to be goal congruence. They have required developing plan and budget based on study and analysis and properly follows the budget that will help company to achieve the objective. Organizational Structure

Observation: JTL has poor organizational structure. Company has no specific criteria for decision making process. Managing Director is the only decision maker which has to be follow irrespective comply any plan or not. JTL has no marketing manager although Telecom is highly marketing based company. Recommendation: JTL must be developing a good organizational structure that will help to make right decision at the right time. JTL has required recruiting marketing manager. Sales Target and Marketing Plan

Observation: Company are following visionary sales target without effective marketing plan and personnel and effective technical support. Recommendation: Management should consider proper marketing plan, personnel and technical feasibility to attract more subscribers. Project Cost

Observation: JTL project cost is excess compare to operational area of the company. Company is spending many unutilized resources in different location where subscribers are very negligible. Recommendation: JTL management should utilize the expensive resources that will generate more cash flow for the company. 8. CONCLUSION JTL (a PSTN operator) start its operation by local ownership with very latest technological equipment with the vision to operate in 16 districts.

But after three years of operation JTL

started to face acute business competition and BTRC rules and regulation. As a result itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

become very difficult for JTL to make up its operating cost. To start new journey with lot of courage and energy JTL has taken initiatives do to feasibility study for another five years period and new investment project.
