Author is right, even anyone's entry in Pakistani market will also be considered late, already there is stiff competition and cost of entry will be at stake of number of years to get stable and profitable. But my experience with companies, where strategic management is run by chinese either from mainland or singapore or malaysia, their generic corporate level philosphy is to invest, get break even and then re-invest, without considering local business models. if it is not a new business opportunity and they are purchasing or acquiring a business on the run, first thing chinese would do is to start eliminating all type of expenses even marketing communication, management restructuring will be another objective. Anyways, only time will tell that how this strategic move turns out but in any case strategic decision should be taken fast, otherwise it will be much difficult for Warid to catch Telenor in Pakistan, no matter how they perform in Bangladesh. very true, but so far China Mobile’s entry has not been felt and they have not unveiled any aggressive move or brand revitalization or corporate reengineering which was much expected of them.
