Question 1: Suppose you are the Networking Administrator of a multinational company. Your boss wants you to develop an interface which can be used to communicate with all the staff simultaneously. Write a Feasibility Report in order to convey the possibility and importance of the assigned project. Answer: 08th June, 2011 Mr. Rizwan Ali Mughal Network Administrator Shine Mobile Services Gulberg, Lahore Mr. Sajjad Saleem I have been asked to request a feasibility report for introducing a new Free Call Service package and how it would be different from the others offered by our rival participants. I submit this brief feasibility report with serious doubts against accomplishment of the planned package. The purpose of this report is to emphasize certain obstacles that Shine Mobile Services; being a new opponent in the mobile telecom service market in Pakistan may bump into on introducing yet another Free Call package; in addition to the four free call packages already being accessible by Shine Mobile Services. This feasibility report is based on facts assessed by our team of sales legislature after carrying out a beginning market survey of our top three rival participants offering indistinguishable free call packages. Further more, the said beginning market survey also point out and recognize that the previous two free call packages conceived by you for Shine Mobile Services are very much in command and have extremely added in the form of increased sales and growth of our subscriber base.

In addition, the previous two free call services offered by Shine Mobile Services has additional more boosted Shine Mobile Services representation as a telecom service with a caring approach towards its customers. This feasibility report goings-on to addresses the issue, as to why our proposed new Free Call Service would be counter productive for Shine Mobile Services at this point in time, based on the following points: 1) Shine Mobile Services was launched ten months ago and as such still has to further build a considerable subscriber base on a resemblance with our adjacent contender competitors and therefore, introducing yet another Free Call Service package will march into our already low profit edge. 2) Our top three opponent participants, having a head start of one-year; initially charged a minimum Rs7/- per minute, and with the introduction of new technology in the telecom service industry their overhead operations and networking costs significantly dropped to Rs2.50/- per minute. 3) Shine Mobile Services launched its operations with an initial service rate of Rs3.00/- per minute, which is still the lowest service rate for any mobile telecom service in Pakistan and as such it is not inexpensively feasible for Shine Mobile Services to bring in yet another free package particularly when we are already contributing two free call packages to our appreciated subscribers. Therefore, this feasibility report concludes with the request that instead of introducing our new Free Call Service package, Shine Mobile Services should study the following recommendations prepared after conducting the above survey report: a. Devise a fresh strategy to firstly increase our subscriber base. b. Consider lowering the cost of Shine Mobile Service SIM card. c. Introduce some other package for our valued subscribers after under taking a comprehensive market, profit margin and technical infrastructure feasibility report. Truly yours, X. Y. Z.
