Acknowledgement
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. Organizations 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 on
Page 51
Administration

Service Industries Limited


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:-

Page 52
Administration

Master in Business

Service Industries Limited


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 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 dont 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.

and met many new people. I achieved several of my learning goals, however for some the
conditions did not permit.

They are facilitating their employees very well. They have already done a lot of for their
workers.
They utilizing their workers efficiently to cut down their cost.
There are very strict rules of company for their employees.
HR department is doing very well. They have been able to attract pool of skilled labor and
retaining it.
The security system is very alert and strong in service industry.
Factorys infrastructure is not attractive, especially the offices and building of the
company.
There is a lot of work for the staff to do. They dont have relaxation time, even able to
complete their daily activities.

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:
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
customers 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 industrys 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.
There should be a monthly magazine of Service products in which the company can give
awareness about the good features of the products of company and new features and
designs.
