External Environment:
SWOT Analysis
Societal environment :
Political –legal Analysis:
Within Pakistan political ambitions and rise of communalism, fissiparous tendencies
areon the rise and may well continue for quite some time to time. Therefore, it
expectedthat the assurance companies might consider offering political risk coverage also.The only
area where Pakistan insurers consider giving cover is with regard to customsduty change
under certain conditions.Certain type of political risk at the international level has serious
implications forexporters. The term µpolitical risk has a wider connotation than
commonly understoodor assumed. It covers events arising not just from politics, but risks in the
course of international transactions. In this connection, it may be noted that export creditassurance
has evolved out of uncertainties relating to international trade, particularly due to
problems arising out of foreign legal jurisdiction, political changes and
currency exchange difficulties faced by many developing countries.The political
situation of Pakistan is not stable and after the war on terror it has gone worse especially
for the business sector, and due to inconsistent policies of governmentevery new
government set different policies which make difficult for the businesses togrow and be
consistent in their performance.
ECONOMICAL FACTORS
Interest rate at bank and interest rate of P.F variation very much affect to
insuranceindustry, because people always attract by higher return. Therefore, they do
not preferlower return policy.Unemployment also affects assurance industry, because
the unemployment people willnot have earning, so saving also affect to insurance sector
insurance industry willdirectly affected by Earthquake, Monsoon, and Natural calamity.
Because of theseevents turns into lots of damages, so the insurance companies have to
pay claim against policy.
Social Factor
The basic social factors that affect the life assurance sector are as under:
Population
Life style
Educational level
Level of earning
Societal benefits
TECHNOLOGICAL FACTORS
Internet as an intermediary in the current Pakistan market customer is not aware
aboutthe intrinsic value of insurance. He thinks of insurance only in the mount of March
as a tax saving measure.The security provide by an insurance cover is rarely thought
about. In such a scenarioInternet can be an effective medium for educating the
consumers about insurance. Itserves as a single window for disseminating product, process and
proceduralinformation to the consumers.Product development and target marketing through
the Internet with increase in thenumber of insurance companies there will be a need for market
segmentation andsubsequently product designed for each of them. In such a scenario
Internet can be aeffective channel for pushing product specific information to a
particular marketsegment.Consumer feedback about a particular product as well as
suggestions for different typesor covers can also be generated through the Internet.Retail
marketing is a commonly expected concept and the providers of the retailproducts and
service will try out for larger market and market share. There would be cutthrough
competition and the real benefit would be to the customers in terms of betterproducts,
distribution, pricing, post transaction service and technology.

Corporate structure:
Human Resource Mangement:
Employees are the most important asset of any organization. The future of the
firmdepends on the performance of its employees. The role of a human resource
manager ispivotal in managing the expectations and performance of the employees.
Read on toknow more about human resource manager's job description, human resourcemanager's
duties, and the requirements of a human resource manager.
Human resource management refers to the coherent and strategic approach tounderstand the needs
of the people working in a firm. Undoubtedly, the growth of a firmis totally based on the
individual and the collective efforts of its workers.Human resource management evolved as
a serious discipline in the business world when it wasunderstood that employees are not
mere business units, like machines and automobiles.Instead, they are a valuable human
manpower and have personal, emotional, andfinancial needs. When it was realized that human
beings are not unidimensionalentities, human resource management was developed to
cultivate a positive work culture in the organization, motivate employees, streamline the
recruitment process,and provide employee training.
The penalties for not being correctly staffed are costly. Understaffing loses the businesseconomies of
scale and specialization, orders, customers and profits. Overstaffing
is wasteful and expensive, if sustained, and it is costly to eliminate because of modernleg
islation in respect of redundancy payments, consultation, minimum periods of notice,
etc. Very importantly, overstaffing reduces the competitive efficiency of the business.Sta
ffing level planning requires that an assessment of present and future needs of
theorganization be compared with present resources and future predicted
resources. Appropriate steps then be planned to bring demand and supply into
balance.Thus the first step is to take a 'satellite picture' of the existing workforce
profile(numbers, skills, ages, flexibility, sex, experience, forecast capabilities,
character,potential, etc. of existing employees) and then to adjust this for 1, 3 and 10
years ahead by amendments for normal turnover, planned staff movements,
retirements, etc, in line with the business plan for the corresponding time frames.The
result should be a series of crude supply situations as would be the outcome of present
planning if left unmodified. (This, clearly, requires a great deal of informationaccretion,
classification and statistical analysis as a subsidiary aspect of personnelmanagement.)
