How do you see women entrepreneurs in Pakistani society - a developing nation; as wastage of efforts or a real push in the growth of economy? Discuss.

ANSWER:

The issue that is preventing entrepreneurial growth in Pakistan is that the women are not given the opportunity to start a venture and nurture it into a successful business. Women are looked as the "food-makers" rather than the "food-earners." However, research does show that those women who have been given the chance and the proper resources have worked to become strong entrepreneurs. As an increasing number of women are fighting for their right to enter into the business world, entrepreneurship amongst women is giving rise to some excellent business ventures. Inherent attitudes of a patriarchal society, that men are superior to women and that women are best suited to be homemakers, create formidable challenges. Women also receive little encouragement from some male family members, resulting in limited spatial mobility and a dearth of social capital.

The ILO research on women entrepreneurs in Pakistan has shown certain leak points gaps in the development of women entrepreneurs and has emphasized and recommend for actions needed to be taken in order to encourage and promote women entrepreneurship. The research shows that women has to face certain hurdles like gender discrimination, lack of safety, family and traditional restrictions, lack of access to education, market, business premises and other require tools for getting into and starting the business. Moreover there aren't any proper constitutional structures, policy documents, regulatory arrangements and institutional mechanism that can support or acknowledge women entrepreneurship in Pakistan.

However beside all the barriers and hurdles it is a please to note that Pakistani society is increasingly accepting businesswomen. Research has shown that 32% of women entrepreneurs believed that the general perception women in business had improved. Further certain organizations such as First Women's Bank Limited (FWBL) are also established to cater solely to the financial needs of women entrepreneurs. Its mandate was to improve the socio-economic status of women in both urban and rural areas by creating opportunities for their development through enhanced economic participation. The research also shows that there are 47% of women entrepreneurs in textiles industry, 42% in private institutions and 27% of women are contributing in the half of the household income.

The research on government policies has shown that in order to involve women in productive economic activities, including exports, the Ministry is moving forward on a broad-based programmed in collaboration with the private sector. An Export Trade House and Display Centre each has been established at Lahore and Islamabad. Similar ventures are proposed at Karachi, Muzaffarabad and other major cities. To facilitate women entrepreneurs in their business activities both local and foreign, Business Centres in collaboration with the First Women Bank Limited (FWBL) have been established at Islamabad, Lahore and Karachi. Similar Centres are planned for Quetta, Peshawar and other major cities. These results show that efforts of women entrepreneurs are not of waste of time and they are contributing to push in the growth of economy. However these contributions can be made more significant, it is suggested that in order to foster development, multi-agency cooperation is required. The media, educational policy makers and government agencies could combine to provide women with improved access to business development services and facilitate local, regional and national networks. This would help integration of women entrepreneurs into the mainstream economy.

Discussion Question:

"If XYZ Company has believed that their product line is of superior quality but their sales are quite low. What might be the reasons behind this?"

Answer:

Following could be the reason of Low-sales :
Price.
Price of the product is main point for every customer while making purchase some thing. High quality of the product is
mostly increase in price of the good and this increase of the price of good
peoples prefer to purchase low price good and cause low sale.

Customer preferences.
In some cases customers are some mind set of the product and services due there culture, personal liking and disliking. This is also a
main cause of low sale.

Substitute of product.
In every market some Substitute of products are availabe on low prices that also cause
low sale

Change in demand.
With the passage of time and change in fashion, peoples demand are go change so product are updated according to that requirement if we dont do so product sales are
decline

Availability of the product.
In is also a main point that cause low in sale , if product are not easily availability in the market than the peoples prefer that good that are easily available to there door step. So not availability of the product cause decrease in sale.

Information about the product.
It is necessary to inform about the product and services to the customers If we dont do so than who peoples come to know about the
product? Lack of advertisement also cause decrease in sale.

Another:

Prices may be too high for the economical customers.
The XYZ Company may not be hitting the concerned target market for its sales.
Another reason for the low level of sales could be the lack of variety or assortment of products.
Reason for a poor level of sales could be the poor service XYZ Company provides to their customers.
Or perhaps the fact that their sales did not reach to take off at all, is because the company have not previously done adequate market segmentation.
XYZ Company probably has a good product and offer good customer service, but may be their products are not known to consumers because of lack of advertisement.
Probably the reason for their low sales to be their competition, which is offering a better product, is to better serve customers, or simply their products are of the same quality as XYZ Company but have a lower price.
…………..

1improtant think you have forgotten may be that they may be don’t do right advertise and also they may be do not analyze the marketing before launching the product

If
XYZ Company has believed that their product line is of superior quality
but their sales are quite low. What might be the reasons behind this?

What I think:

1. Price is too high

2. they are not hitting the right target market

3. the particular product is not that much popular in costumers

4. there is an another product in the market with same quality but low price

Question 2:
How an Information system can help to meet call centre challenges? [5 marks]
Answer: 2
The global trend in developed economies from manufacturing towards services has led to an explosion in the call centre industry. With constant advances in the enabling technologies allied to changing business strategies, call centre management has become a critical business success area. Call centers can be thought of as stochastic systems with multiple queues and multiple customer types, resulting in great challenges associated with managing these systems. It is very difficult to understand the dynamics of call centers using purely analytical techniques due to the operational and mathematical complexities involved. This paper introduces and gives a detailed overview of call centre functions and their operations as the basis to promote the use of Discrete-Event Simulation (DES) for modeling purposes. The effects of calls routing and prioritizing to specific agents with multiple skills in an inbound call centre are discussed and modeled using the Witness simulation software.
Call centre managers are increasingly expected to deliver both low operating costs and high quality of service. To meet these potentially conflicting objectives, call centre managers are challenged with deploying the right number of agents with the right skills to the right schedules in order to meet an uncertain, time-varying demand for service [1]. Despite many analytical approaches for modeling call centers, the gap between these models and the call centre’s reality is still quite large. These analytical approaches cannot be accurate enough, as they do not mimic randomness. Therefore, DES appears to be the most viable option for accurate performance modeling and subsequent decision support.

The demand for decision support models is continuously increasing, due to the increased complexities in call traffic management and the use of multiple channels in call center operations. Although many researchers have already explored the use of DES in call center environment, they have not directly addressed the issues of effective routing policies that often incorporate priority rules for the calls and agents. Specifically, the number and types of agents, who handle the calls and the working schedules of these agents under constraints on the quality of service and on admissible schedules is one of the main optimization problems encountered in managing these multi-skill call centers [2]. Without proper DES models, it is very difficult for the managers to deal with such problems and to explore ‘ what-if’ scenarios on a daily basis. In absence of such models, managers cannot visualize the consequences of different process changes before they are implemented.

2. Know your customer. Build a marketing database designed to gain insights into customer value, vulnerability and potential.

3. Get smart about your customer data. Hotel sales and marketing teams should profile their best customers on highest value and target others that look like those best customers. Hotels attracting conventions or meetings need to prioritize prospects into A-B-C lists and provide value-added incentives for A-list prospects, focusing the majority of the budget on those.

4. Leverage new customer insights on customer value, vulnerability and potential into campaigns that maximize ROI.
5. Test creative and offers to measure and redeploy what works best.

6. Track and report campaign response and conversion effectiveness.

7. Grow relationships with current customers. Use social media and electronic communications to increase loyalty and reasons to communicate with customers.
