Employee intention Financially Strong position Availability Of Loan is very easy Fastest Communication within the organiztion High quality product Latest mechanized machinery from Germany & Japan Highly motivated workforce to compete in corporate culture Bestest Yarn producing company in whole country I have noticed that Sapphire Group has many Strengths which are within the organization and helps the company in generating huge turnover every year like 217 million U. As an internee I have spent a small time in the organization but following is the SWOT analysis which I have made on Sapphire Company during my stay in the organization. Opportunities and Threats before I go further I should explain that Strengths and Weaknesses are within the organization and Opportunities and Threats are those characteristics which were faced by the Sapphire Group from outside the organization. the other main strength of the organization is there is yarn which is most finest in the whole country and no one can compete them up till now. Sapphire is a big group but as we know that every big corporation needs loan in order to make purchases and other expenses. I have noticed that banks loan are available to the company every time they need so they don’t have to Internship Report On Sapphire Group Page 15 .SWOT ANALYSIS Well the purpose of SWOT analysis of the company is to determine the Strengths. the main strength which I have noticed during my stay in the company is that the working environment of sapphire group is very friendly and cooperative like every senior is always ready to help their juniors. Strengths: • • • • • • • • • Differentiation on few products. Opportunities: • • • • New product development Strong Entrepreneurship Innovative idea High investments were made for the replacement of the machinery. Centralized decision making Every organization also have some weaknesses in them when I asked my head Deputy Marketing Manager about their weaknesses he answered that I don’t think that we got any weakness because we are the best one in the market. Company have large number of loyal customers which are doing business with the company for more than ten to twenty years and in the end I can say that there is no organization which can achieve its goal without a motivated workforce and Sapphires workforce is the most loyal and highly motivated workforce. Some units except head office centralizes decision making is going on which is not providing the company with benefits. Page 16 Internship Report On Sapphire Group .face finanacial crises. Decisions are made independently in some units. Weakness: • • • • • • Most of sales are export so that’s why we are dependent on external market Currency fluctuation No advertisement at all No Profit Sharing of different units. They don’t advertise themselves because they believe that don’t have to advertise themselves because they are not making consumer goods and are dealing direct with the domestic consumer but as we know that small industry in our company is also growing day by day and in order to catch these customers they should advertise themselves. but some how there are some problems in the company like they don’t have a dress code in the organization which gives a very bad impression on a new customer who recently interacted with the company. The main threat is new competitors are entering the market as the world is becoming globalized economy different countries are entering Asian markets. Marketing strategy Internship Report On Sapphire Group Page 17 . As law and order situation is not good in some parts of country so transporting products is sometime difficult from rural areas because of law and order situation in the country is not good at all. Threats: • • • • • Political Instability in the country Economic Instability Law and Order is not favourable for the company. so when the competition increases we know the profit decreases so it is another threat for the company. as every new government comes they introduced new policies for the industry which disturbs the whole setup of the firms like Sapphire Group. Changed of Government policies Threats which are facing by Saaphire group are almost same which are facing by our domestic industry like continuos political instability in out country.• • Organization can captured new market segments around the world Organization reduce the cost by proper utilization of resources Sapphire Group has too many opportunities in the current scenario like they should research for new products and develop them for local consumer which can be beneficial for them. New entrance of competitors in the market. they made contracts with the new companies and those companies having already contracts had no need to made. Our competitors from Asia have come up in a big way with lower prices resulting from lower overhead. Their fiber is very famous not only nationally but internationally as well. Korea. On its purchase side as I have worked for a whole week in Yarn Procurement department of the Group. Taiwan. Leaving behind the traditional way of doing business and in our journey towards excellent it has consistently expanded its buyer base and explored the different markets around the world. Indonesia. Update With Modern Technology Sapphire has constantly updated the machinery. Market for Yarns was diversified to increase the customer base and reduce dependency on the Far East. Improvement in quality and production capability was the main area of concentration. leading to better efficiencies and quality products. I found their business to be such a vast that they ordered their raw material on telephones. India and Bangladesh played an active role in the fabric market. designs and also by providing our customers with efficient service and excellent quality. cheaper and better raw materials and machinery. which is a small branch of marketing department. replacing old machines with new ones upgrading the existing set-up. UK and South America was initiated in case of Yarns. The past year has been tough for the textile industry as competition is increasing steadily and margin of profit is becoming smaller day-by-day. Long Term Relationship With Customers Internship Report On Sapphire Group Page 18 .Sapphire is a group starting from 1967 which means that it is an old Textile industry in Pakistan. Countries like China. Sapphire has established its name in new markets be creating specialized fabrics. In this effort business with Malaysia. In shorter term we are building a small amount of quota. Keep In Touch With Business Partners It visits its business partners frequently and provides them with the best service possible. Its marketing and production team co-ordinates all the time and its focus remains on maintaining its position as the market leader in the textile sector of Pakistan. Sapphire has provided its staff with better working environment and facilities. Saudi Arabia etc. All of the above mentioned points led to strengthened relationship with its business partners making it very difficult for its competition to penetrate into its market share. it is prospering due to its professional commitment towards excellence and giving the best results at all times and against all odds. Sapphire has dedicated new staff with fresh energy for the emerging market. we have to review and analyze them very thoroughly to associate with the right people in the long run. Egypt. Oceanic has been our most lucrative and mature marker. procuring better raw material and most importantly kept a very close association with its customers. On top Sapphire has developed more direct and closer relationship with its end customers. In business terms it is our “cash cow” market. Marketing Agents As an internee I have noticed that Sapphire Group mostly deals with the raw material for the cotton industries and they don’t have to advertise themselves that’s why they have adopted a Internship Report On Sapphire Group Page 19 .The opportunities are limitless. which enhances its efficiency and output. At sapphire. Sapphire has increasing its profitability by working efficiently. which will give us recognition as a bedding supplier. Middle East market is composed of South Africa and the new emerging markets like the UAE. Being an old group it has its own name in the field of Textile. Company life Cycle Sapphire Group has been working for 3 to 4 decades and it has passed introductory and growth stage and now it lies in maturity stage because they don’t need to advertise themselves. Competitive Strategy As for as Sapphire Group is concerned its own name is its competitive advantage. Customers are satisfied with their products. The company adopted the pull and push strategy and the performance and the quality of the products are better that is competitive edge for company. As being late in paying any party makes future problems which result in delivery of any product to be late and resulting in bad image of the company.method of hiring different and experienced market agents who keep in touch with the companys customers like Azgard 9. Crescent. They go to these firms and update them than get their orders directly from them and submit these order at the Head office. its financial assets are also an edge for the group. Nishat Linen etc. Internship Report On Sapphire Group Page 20 . Furthermore. Maturity Stages BCG Matrix Sapphires SBU’s: Internship Report On Sapphire Group Page 21 . Demand of yarn is very high in the market and even they don’t have to advertise themselves because they have large number of order from outside the Pakistan and same thing is happened with the fabric products. Question marks: Fancy yarn lies in question mark category because it has high growth rate and low market share this happens because sapphire is investing a large sum of money in fancy yarn but the demand of the fancy yarn is not increasing as its quantity is increasing Internship Report On Sapphire Group Page 22 .• • • • • Yarn Fabric Dairies Power Generation Energy Solution Stars: Yarn and Fabric lies in the category of stars because it has a strong market share and a high business growth rate as well. They import cows from Australia and New Zealand to provide the best dairy products. This happens because they concentrate more in yarn products but slowly they are intending towards dairies. Cash Cows: Dairies lie in this category because it has low business growth rate and the rate of market share is very high. So.Dogs: Sapphire has introduced solar products in the market and it lies in the Dog category because it has low market and growth rate is also low/ it happens because these products are highly expensive and everyone cannot afford these products. As my keem interest is to join marketing group in my future that’s why I have joined marketing department at Sapphire Company under two Marketing managers who had gave me enough knowledge which an internee is supposed to get during his internship. I have learned that it is a very difficult to market and than sale of your product in a globalized economy of this century and the one main thing that I have learned from my seniors Mr. Nadeem (Deputy Marketing Manager) is that we should have faith and believe in ourselves that we are the best whoever we are and wherever we are working when we go out in market to sell our product to customers. This made me clear that a successful marketer should be very confident during his whole career. Learning as internee Well as an internee I can say that I have learnt much from Sapphire group of Company basically I have much interacted with marketing group but I have learned that out student life is quite different from a working in a huge corporate sector like Sapphire which have dealings across the seas. in short we can say that these products failed to make market in Pakistan. Marketing Manager)and Mr. Shuaib (Asst. The other things that I have learned from the organization is that effectiveness and efficiency is always required in every organization in order to become a successful employee and we should always should keep update with the new technology and new Internship Report On Sapphire Group Page 23 . I can say that the basic concept that I have learned is that how to keep and retain your loyal employees to firm and as an internee I have noticed we should make good relations with other staff members. tasks and I also faces new experiences and problems which I am going to mention below. • Advertisement is not done at Sapphire but they have hired agents which went to markets and take orders from the domestic customers.\ • During my internship I learnt about the value that customer is the only who come first. All the record is saved. my senior manager has sent me 4 times in my whole internship period with these agents in the market so. to target your customer after knowing needs with product solution of the customer need. I. • I learnt about the marketing procedure and required of the documents and dealing with customers. • I also performed some task in the spinning department like how to calculate the no of frames for a specific order and how many days are require for a specific order. And what are the procedures of the Nishat about HR matters.e. • We know every business is done through transaction and in oder to recover these funds and than pile up the files is also my duty. Well as an internee I have been assigned with some duties.methods of working. But one thing I want to share its not easy that looks it has a great toughness and complications in its process but the overall it was nice and great. I have an interest in textile industry that’s because Textile is the back bone of the economy of the country. • I learnt about the HR policies that how many types of hiring Nishat textile using. I can observe the behavior of different customers. • I have been also assigned duty of two weeks to make deal with small customers from outside the country in telephones and internet marketing etc. • I discussed about the marketing practices going on in the international Textile market. DUTIES at Sapphire Group: It was a tremendous experience that I have availed with devotion and commitment. The fulfillment of the demand of customer is our basic motive. limited is • I learnt that in the textile sector the cutting and stitching based on two rules Page 24 Internship Report On Sapphire Group . Internship Report On Sapphire Group Page 25 . and in order to meet these demands we should be always ready and must update our employees according to the current situation of market. I have learned different methods to market your products without using advertisement methods and two times I have registered an order of 40 pound bag of yarn from different customers and I have learnt the nature of customers are different from one another and we should deal them according to their needs.• • (Length) (Length) (width) (Length) Accomplishments The first thing which I have accomplished by doing internship in Sapphire Group is that it is my dream to work in a corporate sector which have foreign and domestic dealing as much because it gives me enough knowledge of my interest field that a small firm cannot give me in such a short time of six weeks. I have gain a very broad experience of marketing and selling products in different regions from all over the world that every country even some states of a same country have different demands from each other according to their cultures and habits etc. The main thing which Sapphires Group has blessed me with that time is very important and we should take much care that we should not waste our time because it is very precious. as the organization has sets their employees mind that we are nothing without our customers. As an internee we have learned that how we should update our customers about the quality of our products and maintain good relationship with our customers in order to retain them for a long time of period. there is very short chance of facing problems while working at sapphire but still we Humans are not always thankful and there are some problems which I have faced during my stay at the organization All tasks are easy and planned according to the experience of internee but one day my manager is on leave and the other manager have assigned me to pile up the files of 150 sales and balance all the account and I can say that it is a very difficult task assigned to me because I don’t have knowledge on this and also have fear that if the balance is not equal than there will be very big problem but with the help of one senior staff member I have finished my job. Internship Report On Sapphire Group Page 26 . we can compete them in every aspect of our business. New Knowledge Acquired : First of all I can say that I have acquired a good marketing while doing my internship at Sapphire Group of Companies. Being an internee I have gained knowledge if you want to be a good marketer than you should be confident on yourself that Challenges and Problems Faced: As an internee we have not given much difficult tasks to handle because we are new in the market and does know much about he market and simply I can say that 6 weeks is very short time to face such challenges and I can say that the environment at the company is very cooperative and friendly that everyone does not hesitate to ask about the problems he is facing so. The very important thing which I have accomplished at the organization is keep update with your competitor’s performance and the methods they are using so. How Experience Impact my Career: Internship Report On Sapphire Group Page 27 . The agents which are hired for the outside market are not much cooperative specially for the internees and they don’t share much of their information with me and anyone like me who is doing internship because in my opinion they believe that it is not important for internees. cotton etc in the country but still they believe that they have to advertise themselves because they are not dealing with domestic customer. I think that females should get equal chance to share work in our community this problem occurred because the owner of Sapphire Sheikh Abdullah believes that male staff member cannot perform well in the presence of opposite sex. The other problem which I have noticed is that there is not equal employee opportunity at Sapphire Group for the females as I have learned that there is only one female member in Marketing field among hundreds of people and it is a discrimination. The main problem is that the company staff members are so much busy that they don’t want and also don’t have much time to share their knowledge with the internees and it is very difficult to lean things from them because the Sapphire group is very huge organization who have dealing in and outside Pakistan. These are very littler problems and challenges which were faced by me during my internship duration but these hurdles and problems has made me learned that if we want to work in a corporate sector we should be ready to face these type of challenges because these thing made us strong nough to grow in our field. The main challenge which internee faced at sapphire is dress code problem as there is no proper dress code in the company and we have habit of dress code which also creates problems for us. The other problem is that company should advertise themselves as they are one of the leading manufacturer of yarn. sapphire. I can say that after doing the internship we have came to know the real purpose of our study because we have learned that why are we studying and what will be its implications in my future.pk Most of the data is collected directly from Mr. • All the relevant information available in the HR office. the basic experiences which I have gained from this internship is that we should prepare hard for the future because the business market is changing with days and in order to become a part of this changing business world we should be very competitive in our fields.e. Shuaib Raza (Asst. like organizational hierarchies strength reports. Marketing Manager) & Mr. Nadeem (Deputty Marketing Manager).Well in my opinion I have not learnt much from this intership because it is very short time to understand our business environment because it is a very vast knowledge.com.
