INTRODUCTION:

Ibrahim Group at a Glance

The group started with a cloth trading business in the industrial city of
Faisalabad. Late Haji Sheikh Mohammad Ibrahim, founder of the Ibrahim
Group, settled in Faisalabad after partition of India in 1947 and re-
established his ancestral business of cloth trading by the name of “Ibrahim
Agencies”. What is known in business today as Ibrahim Group with
diversified business interests from Spinning to PSF, Financial Institutions to
Banking and Energy, started off as a mere cloth trading agency just half a
century ago.

It was middle of the fifties, when Sheikh Mukhtar Ahmed, present Chairman
of the group, joined in this family business. It was then, that he took initiative
to integrate the business vertically upwards adding up yarn trading as an
additional line of business. Turning out to be a milestone in the future
progress, it did not take long before the group was widely reputed and
respected in marketing of cotton and blended yarns.

Backed by this goodwill and experience in marketing, in 1980, manufacturing


of own blended yarn was initiated by establishment of Ibrahim Textile Mills
Limited. With long term considerations and a simple principle of “no
compromise on quality “two more textile spinning companies; A.A. Textiles
Limited in 1982 and Zainab Textile Mills Limited in 1987 were established. A
power generation Company Ibrahim Energy Limited was incorporated in
1991 to improve the efficiency of the existing manufacturing companies. All
these manufacturing companies have now been merged into Ibrahim Fibers’
Limited.

The Group diversified into the financial services by floating First Ibrahim
Modaraba and also established a leasing company; Ibrahim Leasing Limited.
Subsequently First Ibrahim Modaraba was merged into Ibrahim Leasing

Limited. Upon declaration of the privatization policy by Government of


Pakistan, Ibrahim Group together with other leading groups participated in
the bidding to acquire controlling shares of Muslim Commercial Bank Limited.
Under the scheme of reconstruction proposed by State Bank of Pakistan,
Consortium of Ibrahim Leasing Limited, Ibrahim Group and its sponsors
acquired more than 75% of the shareholding of Allied Bank of Pakistan
Limited. Management and control of the Bank was handed over to Ibrahim
Group on August 19, 2004. At present Ibrahim Group is holding more than
80% shareholding of this bank. One of the top five banks of Pakistan, Allied
Bank has more than 742 branches across the country with 7,139 employees
and financial assets of Pak Rupees 234 billion. The Group plans to inject its
own dynamism and energy in the bank to turn it into a premier financial
institution of the country. After the acquisition of the bank Ibrahim Leasing
Limited has been merged into Allied Bank limited.
The strength of the group today stands manifold with entrepreneurial skills
and visionary leadership of Sheikh Mukhtar Ahmed added with fresh
concepts and professional skills of Mohammad Naeem Mukhtar who has
done his MBA from the University of Wales, Cardiff, UK. and Mohammad
Waseem Mukhtar who has done his Bachelor in Computer Science and
Masters in Total Quality Management (TQM) from the University of

1.1 Communication
Communication may be defined as the transfer of information from sender to receiver, with the
information being understood by the receiver. The communication function is the means to unify
an organized activity, through transfer of information from one individual to another, or from

Ibrahim fiber limited Page 22


Business Communication

1.2 Importance of Communication


Communications is the means by which people are linked together in an
organization to achieve a common purpose. Indeed group activity is
impossible without communication because coordination and change would
not be effected. Sociologists and psychologists have also realized the
importance of communication in interpersonal relationships, and have
focused their study on communication networks.

IFL give more importance to communication because they emphasize On


Attention, Brief & clarity of communication & IFL retain customers through
proper communication.

1.3 Purpose of Communication


The purpose of communication in an enterprise is to effect change. In an organization, there can
be two types of communication, i.e. internal and external. Internal communication means
communication within the organization, whereas external communication is the communication
with the outside environment.

FIBER LIMITED organization.

As can be seen from the above diagram, the purposes of internal


communication in an IFL are as follows:

Inside communication means giving and receiving information by all
hierarchical levels. It includes vertical communication covering downward
communication, upward communication, horizontal communication and
diagonal communication. It includes communication flowing at any
intermediate level as well as at operating level, or top management level,
because internal communication is indeed required by all who work together
in an organization to accomplish common goal.

2.1 Requirements for Effective Internal Communication:


 Internal communication must be recognized as an essential tool of
management. It is a way to achieve corporate objectives, build
teamwork, and motive: It can make managers become better leaders.

performance are improved by effective communication.

communicates that how to whom, for what purpose and to what effect.

divisions and departments will reflect this climate.

programming must be made Programming and qualified people cost
money, but it is well spent.

Limited

Written messages also take many forms. At one extreme are the scribbled
notes and at the other are formal reports. Regardless of the form, written
messages have one big advantage they let us to plan and control the
message. The other advantages of written communication are that it can
provide records, references, and legal defenses when needed. Written
messages can be transmitted to a large audience through the mail or
through mass media like newspapers etc. Written communication is also
useful in maintaining uniformity in policies and procedures. However,
disadvantages of written communication are that the feedback is not
immediate, effective messages are difficult to produce if the sender is not
sufficiently skilled, and the written communication may create heaps of
paper which may become difficult to manage.

and exciting ways. Today we communicate instantly and no one questions

on to provide faster, better information to ever-increasing numbers of
business users, analysts and decision makers. Everyone wants the ability to

recommend strategies to overcome these weaknesses in the following lines:

on the recipients. This technique should be employed. It is important to note,
however, that repetition should be only where it is necessary.

executives of organizations, be sure about the accuracy of figures, facts and words of the
correspondence.
