Based on Jim Harvey's speech structures
Axiata Group Bhd.'s earnings were dented by steep foreign-exchange losses in 2008, but the
company, Malaysia's biggest mobile-phone operator by revenue, has emerged poised to post
strong earnings in the current year, boosted by contributions from its overseas operations.
Formed in 2007 after a demerger from state-owned fixed-line operator Telekom Malaysia
Bhd., Axiata aims to be among the top three telecommunications companies in Asia in terms
of market value by 2015.
ENLARGE
Axiata's Chief Executive Jamaludin Ibrahim says the Malaysian mobile-phone operator is focusing on
organic growth rather than acquisitions. BLOOMBERG NEWS
When Jamaludin Ibrahim came on board as Axiata's chief executive at the end of 2008, he
commissioned a companywide efficiency study, comparing the company on every level with
"the best of the best in the telco industry." Armed with the findings, Mr. Jamaludin launched
a cost-management program that has cut procurement costs and improved network
efficiencies since 2009.
With more than 120 million subscribers across 10 countries, Axiata has a strong presence in
Malaysia, Indonesia, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. But it is looking to divest itself of operations
in Thailand and Iran and concentrate on growth areas in Asia. Mr. Jamaludin spoke with
Elffie Chew at the company's headquarters in Kuala Lumpur to discuss the company's
outlook and strategy. The following is an edited version of the interview.
WSJ: What is your vision for Axiata given the changing landscape in the global
telecommunications industry and what do you need to do to achieve this goal?
Mr. Jamaludin: The last two years saw the group consolidating, enhancing the foundation
and creating a new and distinct company. Moving forward requires looking at new revenue
growth areas, especially mobile data and broadband, new ways of doing business, especially
in network areas, and product development. Demand for data is growing and we need to be
more efficient with minutes and bandwidth.
WSJ: What will be your funding requirements over the next few years for the various
markets and will there be a need to raise more cash in the foreseeable future?
Mr. Jamaludin: Key operations have turned free-cash-flow positive, with units XL Axiata
and Axiata Bangladesh Ltd. heading in the right direction. Leverage ratios for the group have
decreased over the last two years with net debt [and earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization] as of the end 2009 at two times.

WSJ: Some analysts reckon that your funding needs—especially for India, where Idea
Cellular Ltd. Is based—may weigh further on your gearing. What steps, if any, have you
taken to address this potential weakness?
ENLARGE

Mr. Jamaludin: [Shareholders of Idea Cellular] have the ability to raise funds themselves.
We remain supportive of Idea as a strategic market in our portfolio. We have a long-term
view of Idea which remains intact. There is lots of upside in this fast-growing market, with
short-term pressure but long-term gains.
WSJ: What is the Ebitda margin for each of the markets you operate in and which markets
will probably see stronger margin erosion?
Mr. Jamaludin: First-quarter margin for Malaysian unit Celcom was 45%, Indonesian unit
XL, 51%, Sri Lanka's Dialog, 34% and Bangladesh's Robi, 26%. As a group, margin
pressures are inevitable. We want to ensure Ebitda growth outpaces revenue growth. So far,
Celcom and XL have performed particularly well, under intense market competition. We are
looking at maintaining or improving margins through our cost-management program and
efficiency.
WSJ: Are you looking at more acquisitions to build your business?
Mr. Jamaludin: We evaluate all strategic opportunities. However, our strategy is to focus on
organic growth as we are not footprint-driven.
WSJ: Would China be a country that you would look at in the foreseeable future?
Mr. Jamaludin: No. The market is closed and there are no new licenses. Even if it opens up,
China won't be in our radar as the country already has two very established players [China
Mobile Ltd. and China Unicom (Hong Kong) Ltd.].
WSJ: What will be your main priorities for this year and next?
Mr. Jamaludin: Our first-quarter results showed strong signs of sustainability. We are
looking to maintain that while strengthening the foundations for future growth. This includes
maintaining our lead in mobile broadband in Malaysia and growing it in other markets. We
will also be strengthening our management team and will ensure that the talent pipeline is
strong. All the puzzle pieces must be in place to ensure sustainable growth.
WSJ: You have mentioned earlier paying a maiden dividend to shareholders when your
financial position strengthens. Is the company in a strong position this year, and will you pay
a dividend?
Mr. Jamaludin: We are in a good position to consider dividends. Our dividend policy will
be announced sometime in the third quarter.
WSJ: Analyst estimates for Axiata's net profit is 2.02 billion ringgit ($643 million) this year,
up from 1.65 billion ringgit in 2009. Some analysts think you may be able to surpass this
estimate given the strong showing from your overseas operations. Is that possible?
Mr. Jamaludin: We don't provide guidance for profits. We are constantly working toward
improving profitability and performance. We are on track to meet our key headline targets of
12.1% growth in revenue, 14.2% growth in Ebitda and return on invested capital of 10.7%.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In this project, we choose Celcom as our company and U-verse as the new telecommunication service
which we are going to design a marketing plan for. The marketing plan is designed using Phillip
Kottler’s Method.
The assignment is goes into detail, about the company, the new products and the marketing strategies
to be implemented. This strategies are based on our proper understanding of the marketing mix,
cognitive marketing implementation and financial.
A swot analysis is of the company, shows their weakness and threats as well as revealing the
opportunities and strengths the company need to take advantage of. The ending section of the project
shows how these strategies would be carried out through our controls and implementation.
The project was based on essential researches, which we combined to design the informal marketing
plan for the above mentioned company. It is a challenge we couldn’t afford to lose that is why we had
to go deeper into understanding what marketing plan is all about and how they are implemented.
The conclusion is a summary of the whole project and references shows guides for further reading.
The whole project is general designed to teach new user about marketing plan and how this strategies
are implemented, that is own main reason for using clear and simple language to aid easy
understanding. Important issues are either highlighted or bolded throughout the whole project to aid
faster display of key information.
COMPANY PROFILE
Celcom maintains a product differentiation strategy resulting from a strong market orientation, commitment to
high quality, and customization of products and services.
There is little turnover among well-compensated employees who are liked by customers. The relatively big size of
the staff fosters communication and quick response to client’s needs.
A long-term relationship with the primary suppliers results in shared knowledge of the product’s requirements,
adherence to quality standards, and a common vision throughout the development and production process.
The high percentage of sales, suggest a satisfied customer base as well as positive word of mouth, which
generates new business per year.
Being the oldest telecommunications service provider in Malaysia, has given celcom a competitive edge and
increased customer’s trust and loyalty to the brand.
2.2.2 WEAKNESS
Celcom’s current facilities are crowded; there is little room for new employers or equipments to fit into the
company.
Celcom is reactive rather than assertive in its marketing efforts because of its heavy reliance on customer’s
reaction for product satisfaction.
While the staff size improves growth and communication, it also impedes commitment on the side of the staff
and lack of specialization.
Both the product line and the client base lack diversification. Dependence on current recorder rates could bleed
complacency, invite competition, or create false sense of customer satisfaction. Development of a product that would
provide better quality service by the competitors would probably put celcom out of business.
The non-seasonality of the products and services creates bottleneck in productivity and cash flows, places
excessive stress on the personnel and strains on the facility.
The poor niche market could be a competitive advantage for their competitors to gain an advantage over them,
and this could lead to a dramatic decrease in customer’s loyalty.
High cost of products and service could alter the buying power of the consumers, especially in this time of global
recession.
2.2.3 OPPORTUNITIES
Advertisement in Malaysia alone exceeds 200 million Malaysian ringgit annually. More than 20 million ringgit is
spent on specialty advertisement which is the potential for celcom’s growth.
Celcom is currently the Malaysian partner of Vodafone.
Celcom is currently doing nationwide promotion using power icons like including international footballers Steven
Garrard, Michael Owen, Ryan Gigs and Robert Pires and Chinese entertainers JJ Lin and Wang Lee Hom as well as local
actress Maya Karim.
Celcom currently has the widest 3G and HSDPA coverage in Malaysia since its launch on 17thmay, 2005.
Celcom provides many products and services that suites different customer needs, ranging from economic,
business, and family and leisure satisfaction.
The director and manager of the company, Dato’ Sri Jamaludin Ibrahim is currently working with the company for
the seventh year, this is different when compared with other telecommunication service providing companies and with his
full experience, he has helped guide celcom to a resting edge with quality management.
As more and more Malaysians look for ways to keep in touch with each other, celcom’s popularity and quality
services has helped draw more customers to the company through customer relationship and brand loyalty.
2.2.4 THREATS
Reengineering, right-sizing and outsourcing trends in management may alter traditional channel relationship with
brokers, dealers, and distributors or even lead to elimination of the channel.
Specialty advertisement through promotional items relies on gadgetry and ideas that are new and different. As a
result, product life cycle may be quite short.
Completion from other telecommunications service providers is strong.
High cost of products and service would be a competitive advantage to their rivals over customers, through
implementing low cost quality products and services.
There are no barriers of entry and this could be a great threat because it could make new fast productive
companies to come into the market and try to gain a stand of their own.
Fast technological advancements would result in faster product life cycle, increase the need for improvement
and might result in low sale of less quality products, or products with less technological features.
2.2.5 MATCHING STRENGTH TO OPPORTUNITIES & CONVERTING WEAKNESS AND THREATS
The acceptance of technological advances and the desire to control time creates a potential need for
technologically rich products with varieties of features.
Celcom must modify its management hierarchy, empowering its employees through a more decentralized
marketing organization.
Celcom should consider diversifying its product line to satisfy new market niche, as well as developing products
that are seasonal to boost sale.
Celcom should consider surveying its current customers and its customers’ client to better understand their
needs and changing dreams.
Have gone into partnership with Vodafone, celcom should consider establishments in its neighbouring countries,
especially the lower technologically advanced ones like Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar etc.
2.3 COMPETITION ANALYSIS
Competitors: the major competitors are Digi and Maxis respectively according to their level of threat.
2.3.1 OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGY OF DIGI
The main objectives of Digi are to become the main market leader in Malaysian market. This they have
done by implementing many marketing strategies to persuade customers. This strategy includes the
Digi family and friends, 18 cent per any local call, reward on reload according to the amount reloaded
within a month and mass advertisement.
2.3.2 STRENGTHS OF DIGI
The main strength of Digi is the market size they occupy through their extensive marketing strategy
and promotions. This has made them one of the market leaders and their service are largely
demanded across the Malaysian market.
2.3.3 WEAKNESS OF DIGI
Their main weakness is limited coverage across Malaysia and the world. For example, sometimes when
you send message to African continent with Digi, the message will not be delivered to the recipient.
2.3.4 SIZE AND TREND OF DIGI IN THE MARKET SHARES
Digi currently holds the second largest trend in the Malaysian market shares.
2.3.5 OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGY OF MAXIS
Maxis are one of the new entries into the telecommunication service providers market, and their main
objective is to get as much customers as they could. This they have down through mass advertisement,
sponsoring sports programmes, rewards to their customers and organizing shows for students and the
public at large.
2.3.6 STRENGTH OF MAXIS
Their sponsorships for sporting programming is drawing many customers attention since Malaysia is
a country vast in sporting activities
2.3.7 WEAKNESS OF MAXIS
Their services are inconsistent, due to poor and limited coverage as well as products features.
Back to top
2.3.8 CELCOM’S COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
Being the oldest and most experienced amongst the three, celcom has many competitive advantages
against its major rivals Digi and Maxis. They currently posses the highest trend in the market share,
giving the highest coverage, many products features and having the highest customer size in the
Malaysian market. They are applying many future strategies to maintain their position as the market
leader in the Malaysian market like niche marketing, business package development, intercontinental
and international service expansion.
2.3.9 FUTURE COMPETITIVE MEASURES
In other to maintain their current market position celcom has developed competitive measures to
fight off their rivals both at the present and in the future, this ranges from delighting their customers
with their numerous service features, developing greater customer relationship strategy,
implementing more societal marketing schemes and supporting the government. (Celcom Official
Website, 2009)
2.4 PRODUCT OFFERING BY CELCOM
Celcom provides varieties of products and service to their customer, which is why they are presently
the best in Malaysia. But we intent to launch a new product (U-verse), that lets customers, pay their
bills through phone, book online flight tickets and hotel reservations.
U-verse: this is a popular product offered by AT&T in the United States. The products allow customers
to pay their bill. Following our counter parts, in developing a cutting edge technology, we enhanced
the U-verse service into paying bills, booking flight tickets and making hotel reservation. A service
designed for both travellers and the market in general. This would be the first of its kind in South East
Asia, and it would go long to way to convince celcom customers about the company’s commitments
towards providing the best service to keep them delighted and in developing the country into a
globally connected nation with the best telecommunications service.
2.5 DISTRIBUTION
With over five thousand trade channels in Malaysia, the distribution of the service won’t be difficult.
The service (U-verse) is designed in a way that it can be automatically activated once a customer
purchases a SIM CARD, by clicking *128#, then U-verse and following the instructions, or by going to
any celcom dealer near him for activation. The distribution channel is designed in a way that it is so
efficient for customers and increases potential sales for the company. Celcom dealers can be found in
over 90 per cent of Shopping Malls, Colleges, Universities, Recreation Centres and Mega Stores across
Malaysia, making it easy for the customers to reach.

3.0 MARKETING STRATEGY
3.1 OBJECTIVES
Celcom has been in the telecommunication business with the primary objective to keep people
connected and helping companies to market their goods and services as well as keeping them close
to their customers. Besides formulating a market-orientated and customer-focused mission
statement, celcom has established and objective to achieve cumulative growth in the next five years
with a 50 per cent net profit for the newly launched U-verse.
To accomplish these objectives, celcom has developed a benchmark for progress in three different
categories. Firstly, through using a market penetration pricing, the service will be brought to the
customers at affordable and reasonable prices. Secondly, by gaining a better understanding of the
need and satisfaction of the current customers, they will improve the service to encourage re-orders.
Finally, the service is to be able to utilize it’s current technology and knowledge base, and research as
well would be conduct on similar products with an eye towards developing the services to a speciality
advertising product.(Williams & Ferrell 1997, p. 364)
3.2 TARGET MARKET
3.2.1 TARGET MARKET 1
The total budget for launching the new product, research, and customer’s survey will be equal to80 percent of
the annual promotional budget for the product introduction year.
Each team is responsible for reporting all financial expenditures, including personnel salaries and direct expenses,
for their segment of the project. A standardized reporting form will be developed and provided by the marketing director.
The marketing director is responsible for adherence to the project budget and will report overages to the
company president on a weekly basis. The marketing director also is responsible for any redirection of budget dollars, as
required for each project of the business analysis team.
The new product offering would be evaluated on quarterly bases to determine its profitability. Product
development expenses will be distributed over a two year period, and will be compared with gross income generated

5.0 CONTROLS STRATEGY
5.1 IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE
Activities, responsibilities and time for completion: all implementation are designed to create
customer awareness and boost sales and are to begin along with the New Year on January 1 2010
On January 1, create sales manager position along with marketing and advertising director. The marketing
director will serve as a project leader for a new business analysis team, while the advertising director will take full charge of
advertisement
By January 18, the business analysis team will review all recommendations from the project managers.
By January 20, develop a marketing information system to monitor client reorder patterns and consumer
satisfaction. The managers are responsible.
By February 2, develop a plan for one year product offering along with potential customer. The business analysis
team is responsible.
By February 5, finalize customer satisfaction for current customers.
By February 10, implement a new product offering advertisement and sample to potential customers. The
business analysis team is responsible.
By February 15, analyse and report the result of all customer satisfaction survey and evaluate new product
offering. The market director is responsible.
Re-establish the objectives of the business analysis team for the New Year. The directors are responsible.
5.2 MARKET ORGANIZATION
Because the new product requires extensive commercialisation to match customers need, it is
necessary to organize the marketing function by customer groups. This will give celcom the
opportunity to focus its effort on the need and specifications of each target market. Celcom marketing
efforts will be organized around the following marketing groups: 1] manufacturing group, 2] business-
to-business group, 3] customer satisfaction group, and 4] customer relationship group. It group will
be headed by a saes manger who will report to the marketing director. Each group will have full
decision making authority and responsible for marketing the new product to the target customers
within the segment.
These changes in marketing organization, enables celcom to be more creative and flexible in meeting
customers’ need, reduce highly centralized management hierarchy and finally, give better
opportunities to monitor the activities of competitors.

CONCLUSION
For any given organization to market any new product, marketing planning is strategy used to
coordinate a well planned product testing and launching. A well designed marketing planning ends up
bring back positive results for companies.
This project covered the main point as well as other minor strategies and implementations involved
in building a cognitive marketing plan. We designed the above marketing plan based on intensive
research and broader understanding marketing in general.
As shown above, the new product U-verse is the first of its kind in the whole of South East Asia. As
pioneers, the chances of gaining higher market shares and being the market leaders is what we looked
into, a well planned strategy has be designed to make that happen.
These strategies if implement as stated would probably bring out a well balanced positive result. The
by understanding the environmental factors and analysis the strength, weakness, opportunities and
threats of Celcom, we had the better opportunity to look into the situation as if we were their new
product managers. This gave us the chances to build a better marketing plan that if well implemented,
would bring in a positive result.

Celcom claims to have the widest and most extensive coveragenationwide, compared to other
cellular services in Malaysia.
Expansion of users
To respond to user needs, the industry engaged in subscriber war business practices. Three years
ago that Celcom was still very much astruggling entity. It was on the verge of decline in terms of
revenue andsubscriber base.
Mohammed Shazalli Ramly said the company¶sinfrastructure can support the device but a big
hurdle to securing the iPhonedeal is the commercial terms that both parties cannot agree on.
A HTC Smartphone (left) and an Apple iPhone seen at a mobile phone shop. TheiPhone
phenomenon has revolutionized the global mobile phone industry.
STRATEGIES TO REMAIN COMPETITIVE IN THE INDUSTRYDouble its mobile broadband customer base
to one million by end- 2010
will focus on pushing its mobile broadband service to sustain its quarterly growth streak
Its primary target now is to double its mobile broadband customer base to one million byend-2010
from 475,000 in the third quarter ended September 30 2009.
In the third-generation (3G) mobile broadband space, Celcom currently leads other mobile operators
in terms of subscriber base. Maxis Bhd has fewer than 200,000subscribers as of the third quarter of
this year.
Its third quarter net profit of RM404 million is the highest quarterly net profit in itshistory.
y
They will be implementing new synergies focusing on customer touch points, humancapital and
strengthening position with renewed zest and commitment. This will be doneconcurrently with an
accelerated broadband push and continued 'smart spending' costmanagement.
The integration of Celcom and TM Cellular has expanded and enhanced our network, interms of
geographical coverage and network quality. In line with the strategy to providethe best network
quality to the customers, they have allocated a substantial portion of theannual capital expenditure
to improve the capacity and quality.
Long-term strategy is to expand the business beyond mobile voice communications andinto new
market segments to access new revenue streams. To meet the ever-changing andsophisticated
needs of our customers, we will continue to introduce more mobile dataservices and solutions to
keep people connected anywhere, anytime.
In my opinion, Celcom have do well for their market. They also has controlling interest inmobile
operator in Asian. They got the cheapest plan for subscriber with minimum budget. Theyimprove
quite a lot in wider coverage also.I also like to suggest on Blackberry package that they offer to
users. For young adults, I believe amonthly RM50 commitment fee for voice call will suffice. Celcom
price for monthlysubscription fee at RM118,meanwhile Digi at RM108 and of course Maxis is the
expensiveabout RM200. About the Term and Condition on Blackberry Plans, I hope they will state
aclearly Term and Condition compared to Maxis. They have very detailed Term and Condition.
