“IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, THE MOST GRACIOUS AND MERCIFUL, THE BENEFICENT”

First of all I would like to bend over my head in front of ALMIGHTY ALLAH. It was HE who direct me in every
stage of my life, and who bestow me with capability to accomplish the best and helped me to conquer every
attempt and difficulty in every field of life. Without His help, we cannot accomplish any objectives in our lives.

Thanks are also due to last Prophet HAZRAT MUHAMMAD (peace be upon him), through whom Almighty
Allah communicated knowledge to mankind and who is forever a torch of guidance and knowledge for whole
humanity.

I extremely thank full to my honorable teachers who helped me to complete my report as it is compulsory part
of the Master in Business Administration because perhaps I would not be able to write such a report without
their help and cooperation.

Especially I am very thankful to the Head of Human Resource department Deputy HR Manager of Servis Mr.
Saleem Nawaz who organized my internship program. I am very thankful to my supervisors who help me in
my learning activities during my internship.

Finally, I am very thankful to my family and my sweet friends for their prayers, love and encouragement and
their faith in my abilities. The completion of my work is the result of their co-operation and moral support.
Without their co-operation and support, a project like this is difficult at best.

Thanks All!

2.4.6. Summary of Learning

2.4.6.1. Skills and Qualification:-

I have gained the practical knowledge from the internship. The internship program is very helpful for me as far
as learning is concern. I have got my experience that contributed in my learning. I learnt variety of skills and
qualification. I have learnt how to behave with employees in different situations. The interaction between
employees should be friendly, so that employee can feel comfortable while sharing his problems. And we are
here to facilitate them, not for ordering them to do as we like. During the increase in workload, I got to know
how to complete tasks. When workers are satisfied then they become loyal towards the organization.
Organization’s success depends on the devotions of workers. If you are unable to keep your employees
satisfied then it is not productive for any organization. Another skill I have learnt is the adaption. The process
of adjustment is very tough; one should have to be flexible to induct himself into their system. It built
interpersonal skills. . I have learnt how to behave with senior managers. In human resource department and
accounts department I have learnt about the very important Database HRIS and ORACLE.I learnt how to work

Page 47 Master in Business


Administration
Service Industries Limited

on them and what is the use of these two in their department. I also learned to supportive and cooperative
with colleagues and supervisors.

2.4.6.2. Responsibilities during the Internship:-

I undertook a number of responsibilities on the base of department I have worked in. During my internship
period in HR department I was given a number of responsibilities such as preparing and approving leaves. I
was assigned to enter the missing timing of employees in HRIS because time machine was out of order. I have
record the data of those employees who left the organization, for this purpose I used MS Excel. I was given the
responsibility to update the status of employees in Database in case of dismiss, transfer or termination.

In Accounts department I was given the responsibility to calculate retail sales tax amount. I have record the
import details in import purchase register, for this purpose I used MS Excel. I have entered the personal data
of footwear workers such as name, father name, mother name, address, CNIC number and phone number, for
this purpose I also used MS Excel. I was assigned to enter receipt and purchase invoices in system. I was
responsible to apply tax application on invoice payments in ERP.

2.4.6.3. Influences on My Future Career Plans:-

Internship play very important role in influencing my future career plan. This will help me in certain ways.
During my internship I got experience in field of finance because it is related to my specialization in MBA. It
will also help me in start of my career to get job in any organization. I have also built some network while
working in industry which is quite supportive in every way. According my thinking it was very necessary to
have practical exposure in industry with my degree so that I have some practical experience of field work. This
internship gives me a chance to gain practical knowledge with my theoretical knowledge. I also get a chance
to correlate the theory of my course with the industrial problem and their solutions. Definitely this all will
make a positive and effective impact on my future plans.

2.4.6.4. Internship activities Correlation with My classroom Knowledge:-

Internship activities are very much correlated with class room knowledge. I thought bookish knowledge is very
different from what is happening practically in different organization but this internship changed my views.
There was a practical implementation of the knowledge that in have gained in my classroom. As far as I am
doing my specialization in finance I have spent some weeks in HR department due to some reasons so I knew
what happed in HR department, and same was going on there. Although I did not seen any planning or

Page 48 Master in Business


Administration
Service Industries Limited

training session there, but management was functioning. I realized how much communication skills are
important for professional life. The practical implementation was observed. Such as when it comes to financial
knowledge, subjects like analysis of financial statement and financial accounting helped me to understand
receipts, payments and financial statements and to have a thorough study of invoices, vouchers and financial
statements which helped me to understand its performance over past years. Financial accounting study
enabled me to understand the work of accounts department.

Therefore, it can be concluded that classroom knowledge was quite helpful during my internship period.

3. Conclusion

3.1. Summary of Key Conclusions:-


Internship is very important element in our MBA course. I have learned too much from internship. At start i
don’t know the practical implication of this knowledge but i learn how to prepare, how to present and who to
implement the knowledge. Internship not only increases our knowledge but also play a vital role for having job
in any respectable organization. It is conducted as experience of field work. It enables us to face hard time
because many of us struggle for their internship, especially when we go for finding the organization of your
interest.

The management of Service Industry Limited is very cooperative. The assigned me task and keep me busy in
learning different things. The provide guidance and support in difficulties. On the whole, this internship was a
useful experience. I have gained new knowledge, skills and met many new people. I achieved several of my

3.3. SWOT analysis of organization:It is very important


for any organization to know about its strengths,
weaknesses, opportunities and threats to compete in
the industry. So, by the help of environmental analysis
and organizational structure I can find out the
opportunities and threats and strengths and
weaknesses.
Strengths:
 Cost Advantage:
Lower costs are leads to higher profits for service. A low cost leader can undercut the rivals on price.
Only few companies has cost department and service is one of them who has independent cost
department. Cost department control over per unit with all aspects such as material cost, labor cost, rates
controlled by bill verification.
 Latest technology:
They have advanced technology and modern equipment that helped them in producing goods.
 Employee benefits and reward:
SIL is providing health, pension and transport facilities to its employees.
 Efficient Procurement department:
Procurement department is working very efficiently in transferring the inputs into outputs.  Customer
loyalty:
Customers are loyal to Service Industry. Instead of targeting all customers they only need to target new
customers in order to grow their business.
 Brand Name:
A strong brand is major strength of service. This gives the ability to charge higher prices for their products
because customers place additional value in the brand.
 Business portfolio: Service is producing variety of products that reduces the risk of company.

 Having company's own outlets all over the country.


 Heavy export of service industry.
 Having good relations with its suppliers.
 Company has vast experience in shoe manufacturing.
Weaknesses:-
 Lack of new products:
SIL is not introducing new products these days.  Less
promotional activities:

Page 50 Master in Business


Administration
Service Industries Limited

The majority of people are not well aware about the products of SIL. It is due to their very low services of
promotional activity.  Centralized decision making:
The decisions are made by the upper management which is weakness of the SIL, because authority is not
delegated to branch level. Manager cannot take initiative regarding different decisions. They cannot work
freely.
 Resistance to change:
There is very frequent change in design, technology, process and marketing due to branded footwear
availability in the market. The service is not well known as making fashion oriented brand.

Opportunities:

 Innovation:
Great innovation can help service to produce unique products and services that meet customer’s needs.
 New technology:
New technology helps them to better meet their customer needs with new and improved products.
Technology also builds competitive barriers against rivals.  Low price:
Company can introduce low price product in the market because high percentage of population belongs
to lower class.
 Replacement of infrastructure:
SIL has to replace the old infrastructure with new one for best working environment.
Provide better online shopping facilities.
Threats:

 Political risk:
Politics can increase risk factors because governments can quickly change business rules that negatively
effect on Service.
 Government regulations:
Changes to government rules and regulations pay negative impact on the industry.  Substitute
products:
The availability of substitute products hurts service industry’s ability to raise prices because customers can
easily switch to another product.  Competition:
Competition is going to increase because of setting up modern units elsewhere and entrance of
multinational companies in local market.
 Political instability:

Pakistan is a country that politically is not stable. There is not stable government. This has great impact on
industrialists and investors. Service industry has threat due to political instability because in instable
government there is rapid change in laws, rules and regulations.
 Economic threat:
The service industries have to face economic threats. The first economic threat is high prices of electricity.
Another threat is rate of inflation, which causes rise in prices of things. In recent years, oil prices have
gone up due to which it has increased transportation cost which increases the cost of production.

4. Recommendations:-
After a thorough analysis of financial performance and operations of Service Industry Limited Gujrat during
internship, I want to draw following suggestions and recommendations for the industry.
 Footwear industry is highly fashioned industry so company should bring innovations in its products
according to new trends and fashions.

 The advertisement should be at large scale of Service products, on the famous channels to greed the
people of target market.

 The company must reduce its operating expenses in order to compete in the market on price basis
operating expenses are controllable factor.

 Company must pay a continuous attention to quality of products so that competitor may not surpass it.

 The company should increase their exports to all over the world through participate in expo festivals.

 The HR department should arrange programs for motivation of employees and the selection of employees
should be on merit not on references.

 Prices of Service products are high because now in the market there are China shoes and other competitor
companies, so they need to reduce their prices.

 They should have to decentralize the management decision. That will build trust on low level managers
and they will be confident and work with devotion.

 The Service shoes should start to sale its product through online, which can improve its sale as well as its
profits. It is also a good image for the customers that the company is involved in online business and easy
to access. Through this way company can also compete at good scale with its competitors.
 Different training courses should be arranged for the uplifting and improving quality of work for
employees.

the good features of the products of company and new features and designs.
