Internal Factor Evaluation Matrix
EXTERNAL
ASSESSMENT
Porter’s Five ForcesThreat of rivalry: Lots of competition between telecom companies to be ahead
of each other. There are government companies like BSNL and MTNL. Some private Indian companies like Tata, Reliance and some are foreign companies like Vodafone, spice.
Threat to new entrants: Indian telecom companies facilitates opportunities to foreign
companies in different fields like; VPN, satellite phone calls, 3G, international calls and value added services.
Threat of substitute product and service: Internet telephony is good substitute with cheaper rate it offers video conferencing just like Skype.
.
• Bargaining Powers of Customer As it is offering services at cheaper rate,
customers loyalty was good earlier but now with the increase of competition.The bargaining power is very high.
• Bargaining Power of Suppliers: Idea cellular consumes iron, aluminum, electric
wires for tower making. The bargaining power of supplier is less.

(ICTIL)• 16% -- Indus Towers Limited (Indus) •
Differentiation
• Heavy Investments in technology to gain competitive edge:
Idea Cellular invests huge amount in the innovation embedded solution to enhance its technology, network, wireless space and Customer Relationship Management (Our Partners, 2009). For this, they signed a deal of $19.2 million with IBM (USA base Software Production Company). Idea uses IBM webspare application server for data and financial transaction, Oracle Siebel customer data integration for Customer Relationship Management and Supply Chain Management, they use OLTP (Online Transaction Process), CICS (Customer Information Control System) software to optimize the data security, network and mobility management (Idea Portal, 2009). Idea Cellular uses Vehicle Tracking System by GIS (Global
Processing System).
• Aggressive Advertising IDEA Cellular, formerly Birla Tata AT&T Ltd (BTAL), in a bid to create
awareness for its brand, is set to embark on an aggressive advertising strategy. Idea has planned to spend approximately 7 per cent of our net revenues on advertising. Idea has endorsed Abhishek Bacchan for its promotion. Some of popular ad campaigns such a “An idea can change your life”; “What an Idea Sir ji!” & “save the trees”.
• Distinct Promotional Strategy The good point of Idea Cellular marketing policy is that it is targeting the
general and poor people of the nations. The ad campaigns represent Idea connection as the solution of the problem faced mainly in the rural area like caste system, absence of school. The campaign is increasing the preference of general people towards Idea Cellular.There is still need for a better and more focused advertising campaigns in their marketing strategy to portray the VAS of the company and efficient network availability.
• Improved customer Service Idea has been the 3 time winner of GSM Association Award for Best Billing or
Customer Care Solution. •
• Focus StrategiesIdea cellular has been a bit too focused in the GSM sector. Since the GSM market is highly competitive with the FDIs flowing in & entrance of world players like Vodafone &Docomo, and the market getting saturated mainly in the urban area, Idea should think of diversification by investing in Satellite TVs, Fixed lines & Broad-Band.
