Letter of Transmittal
Dear Mr. Durrani,
As a requirement of our course “Strategic Marketing & Planning” offered in MBA program, we were required by you to prepare a term report based on analysis and observations of a market oriented organization which is customer focused too, using “SMP” tactics. To complete, learn and experience the concepts and theories of SMP we learnt throughout the semester so far, we chose “GEO Television Network”. This report had been a rewarding and informative experience for all of us.
We tried to cover all the aspects which needed to be considered while analyzing “GEO TV” as a Market Oriented Organization. Your support and corporation had been very fundamental and useful in preparing this report.
In case of any doubt, please feel free to contact us.
Sincerely,
Basit Jawed 15066
