In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

encouragement, guidance and support from initial to the final level enabled us to develop the
subject Strategic Management. With his dedicated lectures we were able to practically
understand and apply what we have learned in the classes.
History:
5
Pakistan Tobacco Company Limited (PTC) is a subsidiary of the British American Tobacco
(BAT) p.l.c. The Company was incorporated in Pakistan in 1947 making it one of the first
multinationals in Pakistan. Starting from a single warehouse near Karachi port, the
Company is now the largest cigarette manufacturer in Pakistan. For PTC it has been a
voyage in pursuit of excellence since 1947 driven by the vision to be the “First Choice for
Everyone”.
Our story of 70 resilient years encapsulates the key milestones we have thus far crossed,
intertwined with the meaningful contribution we have made along the way in social and
economic terms. Our journey continues as we endeavor to outdo ourselves in setting the
highest standards of corporate excellence.

Since the start of the new century, in order to better understand and accordingly respond to our ever-
changing consumer base, we decided to get regular market research surveys done from an independent
international research agency called Nielsen. It helped us better divide our brands market wise and gave
us knowledge on what exactly the consumer trends are. On ground, it helped us with the numeric width,
the share drop or share increase, which brand is performing better than others and where. This helped
us in streamlining our processes to an extent that we made a sub function of marketing which is solely
drawing conclusions and trends from the data we receive directly from one end of our supply chain – our
retailers.PTC has the 3rd Largest TM&D force in the BAT world.

Opportunities:
Threats:
b. Technological Environment:
Technological factor also very important and we haven’t control on it. Technology isgrooming
with the passage of time. People also want that the product that they have is full
of technology. We never control on technology for example you launched the product last
year and your sale volume on that time is very high but after sometime due to latest invention
alots of substitute exist in market which affect on your business so you can’t hold on it.
c. Legal Environment:
14
As all countries, Pakistan also has some legislation about each sector. But like
developingcountries it is hardly being imposed by authorities. The corruption, smuggling and
black marketing have been supported by Government related officials. The undue favor is given
tothose business men who have been politically affiliated and hardly any legal suite is carriedon
against them. Such unethical activities destroy all law and legislation.
C.Task environment:
1. Potential new entrants:
In PTC this can be described asking the New Entrant category of Porter's 5 forces, we can see
that it would be tremendously difficult for another car manufacturer to enter into the market.
The rate at which the industry is changing does not allow for new entrants to come into the
market very easily, and the cash investment for a new firm to produce massive quantities of cars
is in the billions.
•By virtue of the Just-In-Time production concept pioneered by PTC, itself has seen a very positi
ve relationshipdevelop between its suppliers and producers.
•Suppliers are expected to make deliveries of parts in small quantities several times a day.
•PTC, by reducing its part inventory, has been able to speed up production
costs,save money by not letting parts sit on the shelf, andimprove its relationship with parts
suppliers, which rely on PTC for their revenue.
15
4.Threat of substitutes:
•Consumer preference is changing (Due to government awareness programs)
•Setting up integrated Tobacco manufacturingfacilities may require higher capitalinvestments
•Pakistan is also likely toincreasingly launch awareness programs that can make difficult for the
new companies to enter in the market and compete with PTC so we can say that the threat of
substitute is minimized.
16
B. Organizational Culture:
The culture of PTC is so friendly and work in the organization like a team.this can also increase
the productivety of the company.The company also make a lot of focus on the employees.
Because employees are the assets of the company. Company use this asset in a productive way
and increase its productivity.
B. Corporate resources:
1. Marketing:
PTC products continue to enjoy customer’s confidence and have been successful in market.
During the year the company sales declined due the government awareness programs so due to
that they focus on exports because due to earning foreign reserves they thought government
also facilitate them and their sales increased.
2.Finance:
PTC is a well reputed company of the company as well as of the world.This is beneficial
for the company because can easily got financed from the banks as well as
from other financial institutes.
- Detail study of drawings, SIS, SES and other standards for the component
17
basis of four variables such as designing, manufacturing, planning and research, and
engineering. The findings highlight that all the variables have strong correlations with new
technology and firm business objectives. Moreover, inferential analysis indicates that majority
of employees believe that the performance of the company has tremendously increased with
the use of new technology. It is suggested that employees’ perception towards impact of
technology on business objectives should be conducted at a wider level. The effect of other
factors on firm business objectives has been discussed and conclusion has been drawn
accordingly.
6. Human Resource Development and Management:
When training about certain field is offered to the works company by the mother company PTC
workers themselves decide whether to take the offer or not, the departmental Heads suggests
names of workers to top management and then names are announced. The training could of six
weeks, one year or three years. As they told us that before sending any employee to
training, bonds are signed from employees and because the employees becomes an important
asset of the company for which company is spending so much money by sending them for the
training in foreign countries and they are bound to share their knowledge and experience which
they have gain toothier employees at the plant in order to increase the performance regarding
Quality.

Recommended strategy:
PTC gives importance to the rise of global market share by evolving into new markets
and wants to grow their capacity by organic growth, merger and acquisition.
For organic growth, PTC is more focused on their strategic global sectors, which offer
good brand expectation for long run, especially Premium and International Brands.
According to 2007 annual financial report, Global Drive brands have growth by 10%
while International brands by 5%. PTC has target of optimizing the role of Global Drive
Brands and are ready to utilize opportunities for their expansion in “Value for Money”
and “Low Price Segments”. They also want to maintain or establish good stances in
priority markets by defining itself as the leading and the greatest profitable ever. They
also consider carrying on with their development, innovation and offering customers
distinctive products within their brands. PTC also concentrates in trade marketing and
distribution by focusing on Direct Store Sales that helps to develop excellent and
profitable relationships with the potential customers.
For productivity,PTC concerns about best utilizing its worldwide resources to boost
profits and raise finances for reinvesting in the industry. To be competitive,PTC has cut
costs over supply chain while improving product quality and pace for emerging into the
global market, also utilizing its people and capital effectively.
19
For Responsibility, PTC strictly follows their Business Principles with the stakeholders,
which is comprised of Mutual Benefit, Excellent Corporate Conduct and Responsible
Product Stewardship. PTC conducts qualitative standards of business with employees
globally. They also encourage sensible tobacco regulation by balancing consumers’
choice and social interests, reducing harm and ascertain the company sustain and
flourish. For harm reduction strategy, PTC will lessen the tar and toxins consistently from
the products and launch a new generation product that has fewer risks to health.
Lastly, for building a Winning Organization, PTC provides good working environment
and follows strategy that produce leaders who have devotion, be innovative and who
can facilitate team in order to build the company worldwide.
During 1990, PTC was intended to concentrate completely on tobacco that provoked
and altered the Group. Later in 1995, PTC considered to have confidence and an aim to
be the leader amongst tobacco industries and hence developed a strategy. To lessen
supply chain complications and accumulate expenditure, which were also part of the
strategy, PTC closed some of its loss incurring companies, like, in 2005, South Hampton
plant was closed down.
VII.Implementation:
PTC must have to adopt modern and latest technology and made huge research and
development so that the impact of tobacoo items and its effect on consumer health can be
minimized this can helpful for its flourishment otherwise it cannot sustain itself in the market
successfully.
20
Overall Sourcing and Leadership:
The new initiative absolutely has felt the weight. It is the duty of
the pioneers to deal with the arrangement and coordination
between vital course and working . Ideally, the review emergency
will be dealt with yet again as a chance to adjust its lean
generation culture and its operation magnificence capacities with
its craving to use new innovation, to keep sourcing from the globe
while proceeding to remain on the No. 1 platform. A change as of
now is obvious. PTC has turned out to be less guarded and has
reacted rapidly to new protestations of deformities. Authority is do
not missing anymore and now gives off an impression of being
driving from the front.With regards to the different issues,PTC
development procedure for the proceeded with acknowledgment
and high caliber at reasonable and minimize its health issuesso
that it can betterly sustain in the market and grab more and more
profit from the market and become world one leader.
21
VIII. Evaluation & Control Company Strategies:
The principle vital issue for PTC is keeping up its position as the and become number one in the world..
In view of the book titled "7 Lessons for Leading in Crisis" composed by George (2009), PTC needs a
sound pioneer with a solid, durable arrangement.
PTC make items that is less dangerous for the people so they can easily purchase the items from the PTC
must have to promote corporate social responsibility so people can relate with the.
PTC needs an emergency group detailing specifically to him, working all day, every day to get issues
settled for all time. He ought to include the world's top quality specialists to his settle it group and listen
deliberately to their recommendation.
Administration ought to have required its best designers to get to the underlying driver of this issue and
each other quality issue being accounted for.
Take after True North - PTCmust leave concealing, assume individual liability, and subject himself to
extreme addressing by controllers and the media. At that point he ought to make an individual sense of
duty regarding each PTC iclient to repair the harm, including purchasing back damaged autos.
f. Be on offense:
Concentrate on winning now - Coming out of this emergency, the market will never appear to be
identical. Suzuki can't hold up until all its quality issues are settled. It must play safeguard and offense at
the same time. To win, PTC brings to the table propelled components and unrivaled quality, better an
incentive for shoppers
The Government has taken steps to address the prevalent economic challenges, especially the balance of
payments crisis and the rising trade deficit. At December end, key monthly indicators showed visible
signs of deceleration in domestic demand, the current account deficit is gradually narrowing, and
22
financial inflows are increasing, reducing pressures on the Country’s external accounts. Although, these
developments are encouraging and have served to reduce some economic uncertainty but challenges to
Pakistan’s economy persist: (a) the current account deficit remains high; (b) fiscal deficit is elevated; (c)
core inflation is persistently high; and (d) local currency remains weak and vulnerable to further
devaluation. While addressing the economic challenges, the Government is focused towards not only
stabilizing the economy but also driving economic growth. Looking ahead, 2019 will be a challenging
year for the Company as it will need to counter the challenges presented not only by a tough economic
environment but also by the unique dynamics of the tobacco industry. In the future, the Company aims
to drive business growth by focusing on delivering the following objectives and by countering the related
challenges and now we are focuings on the exports way so that government can also protect us and we
also avail this opportunity for the success in future.
