PREFACE
I choose PTV on the following basis:
As PTV is a well-known organization not only in Pakistan but also around the world, for
it is the only organization, which claims to provide family entertainment, education and
information.
I studied the structure of PTV Islamabad center. In spite of the shortage of time, lack of printed
material and hesitation of high officials in disclosing the required information, I managed to have
a short but comprehensive analytic study of this organization.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Pakistan Television Corporation is Pakistan's national television broadcaster. The first live
transmission of PTV began on November 26, 1964, in Lahore. The PTV family includes six
channels. Originally broadcast in black and white, PTV began color transmission in 1976. With
this new upgrade in techniques and equipment, the Pakistan Television Academy was founded
2
and opened in 1987 to teach students who wished to work in the medium. The broader
perspective to start electronic media in the country was to inform and educate the people through
wholesome entertainment and to inculcate in them a greater awareness of their own history,
heritage, current problems and development as well as knowledge of the world at large. In
fulfillment of its broad and main objectives, PTV's telecast policy concerning various matters of
national and international interests has always been motivated and guided by the cardinal

integrated and disciplined society. These objectives have successfully been achieved through a

CHAPTER 3:
ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE & ENVIORNMENT
PTV has state-of-the-art newsroom computer system designed to meet the challenges of today's
dynamic news environment. PTV uses terrestrial coverage for broadcasting. A powerful and
comprehensive news production system, it can be customized for use by everyone - from small
news channels with just one broadcast a day, to 24-hour, multi-channel news networks. It grasps
and connects all the elements of news operations. Newsgathering, feeds, wires, scripts,
rundowns, archives, contacts, video browser, on air schedules, personal work spaces, staffing and
much more created and formatted to meet individual requirements
Many people downplay small details, dismissing them as minutia-the "small stuff," that we're
encouraged to ignore. But, in fact, our whole environment is simply an accumulation of tiny
details. Some jobs need people who can handle both the small and large parts of a task. Such
individuals won't overlook what needs to be done and can be depended on to do each task
accurately and completely.PTV is such a corporation where the work or the task of the project is
the main priority. They are just interested in the work, they have no concern how they perform
it .they don’t interrupt during the process of work. They just asked for desired work on the day it
is required. Other factors or things are not much valued.
4.4 PREPAREDNESS
PTV has made extensive preparations both technical and programming for the launching of three
new Regional Channels i.e. PTV Mehran (Sindh), PTV-Abaseen (NWFP), PTV Punjnad
(Punjab).
Regional Language Programming started initially with half hour and increased to one hour. Now
being extended with the inception of new channels to eight hours with twice repeat. Quantum of
news bulletins have also been increased from five minutes to ten minutes and thrice a day.
Regional Language programmes are telecast with Urdu subtitling. Efforts are underway for
dubbing. Regional Languages channels are depending on the software produced by the Centres.
CHAPTER 5:
MOTIVATION TECHNIQUES & TOOLS
As we know PTV is highly aware of how to motivate its employees in the best way. This can be
judged by the enthusiasm and good spirit that people show in performing their jobs. There is a
well-devised system that PTV follows for the purpose of motivation. It includes both financial
and non-financial rewards along with the major Motivators and Dissatisfies. The company
recognizes the importance of making people drive towards their goals and the basic step towards
2
this is made through recognizing the value of importance that the company gives to its
employees. PTV has a set of financial rewards, medical, dental, vision and life insurance,
retirement plan, paid vacation days, family and work life balance benefits and profit sharing
plan, Annual bonus opportunities, company cars etc.
Other ways in which employees are motivated are:
Employee Consultation for:
• Everyday residence issues (remodeling, repairs, house-sitting, etc.).
• Legal matters.
• Financial issues
• Education and schooling.
• Parent and child care.
• Resources for seniors and eldercare issues
• Emergency dependent-care reimbursement.
• Adoption assistance.
Employees are safe in knowing that they will be rewarded for any exceptional work. This reward
is not only monetary. It is accompanied by the employee being given recognition and greater
empowerment. Employees are given a very beautiful and healthy work environment. Special
attention is given to make the physical environment most productive. This is why PTV offices
are considered to be the most well decorated and organized. As we know PTV has a desire to
promote the high achievers from within the company. Positions are given on merit and are
transparent and fair in nature. There is no special treatment. Therefore each employee knows that
he can aim for the top and actually get there. This has proved to be a great source of motivation
for the employees of PTV.

CHAPTER 6:
CONTROL MECHANISMS
Control mechanisms are important to every organization. Without them, it would be difficult to
determine whether or not the planning, organizing and leading functions of management are
effective and productive for the company. Although some mechanisms are used widely
throughout many organizations and companies, some mechanisms are tailored to fit a specific
organization. Management must determine the most appropriate control mechanisms for their
company.
PTV keep track of every process with different types of spreadsheets, reports, and statements
which either proves the organization is working well or show where things are distributed to the
different managers for their review. Managers confirm that timetables are being adhered to and
that projects are being completed in a timely manner. These time reports not only identify
amounts of costs and time used to complete these projects, but also help management establish
budgets for the coming year. Overall, the use of these controls is understood and accepted by all
employees. Each employee realizes the need for these mechanisms and strives to operate within
the proper guidelines. There are times when employees' hours or costs are over budget, and
management must delve into the reasons surrounding the circumstance.
The PTV's board of directors or other equivalent body establish and communicate risk
management policies and procedures for derivatives activities that integrated with the PTV's
overall management policies. Such policies and procedures should address the measurement of
market risk and credit risk including aggregate exposures against risk tolerance objectives
(position limits or capital at risk); acceptability criteria for counterparties, strategies and products
(hedging, covered writing, risk management, position taking and related legal risks); risk
monitoring procedures and exception reporting criteria; personnel policies (including expertise,
training and compensation policies); the separation of trading and risk management functions;
and the establishment of management controls and checks over accounts, traders, operational
staff and systems.
The PTV’s main focus is that framework provide for two-way communication between the
board and persons responsible for implementing board policies.
Delineation of derivatives authority should be without prejudice to ultimate board supervisory
responsibility
Controls address stress scenarios, confidence levels, credit assumptions and market risk
measurement methodologies, separation of back office, accounting and compliance functions
from trading, risk policies and integration of accounting systems. Stress tests test the
consequences of severe price moves and changes in market behavior, including changes in
correlations and other risk assumptions.
2
6.2 Independent Market Risk Management
Management controls provide for independent market risk management at the PTV to develop
and monitor the application of risk limit policies, to review and approve valuation systems .
6.7 Systems
PTV's accounting, risk management and information systems ensure adequate and timely
documenting, processing, confirming, approving as appropriate, and reconciling of trades and
valuation systems used by front and back offices; assessing of risk on a global (firm-wide) basis;
accurate and timely reporting to management; and external reporting by management. Internal or
external independent systems reviews are used to verify that such systems are operating as
2
designed.
The complexity and dynamic nature of derivatives trading activity and portfolios require that
accurate and timely information is always available. Systems must are kept constantly under
review to be certain that they permit tracking and reporting financial performance and
effectuating management policies. Significant deficiencies in the design or operation of the
systems that could adversely affect the entity's ability to record, process, summarize, and report
financial data should be reported upon. This is not intended to define the scope of external
financial audits.
CHAPTER 7:
SWOT ANALYSIS
SWOT Analysis is the strength, weaknesses, opportunities and threats.
STRENGTH
The strength of PTV is its nationwide coverage unlike any other channel.
WEAKNESS
Its weakness is the business of government induced programs and low quality.
OPPORTUNITIES
The opportunities are to expand globally, and add quality programs with slight change in culture.
THREATS
The threats are all the other quality cable operators which have taken the market share.
In PEST, the political forces are playing a lot of role in the media these days, the economic
factors are diminishing, social effects are causing other channels to capture PTV's share and
technological advances have led PTV to change its infrastructure a bit.
CHAPTER 8:
3
CONCLUSION
The very idea of a channel dedicated to the regional languages of a country, present infinite
opportunities of programming and its presentation, which calls for innovation, and a systematic
plan and strategy. We must create events by way of festivals based on our rural culture, customs
and tradition, folklore and classical literature. In a world given over to diversity, this channel can
make an imprint amongst the galaxy of available channels, as a truly Pakistani Channel, and has
the potential of creating and maintaining its own identity. The challenge of any new enterprise, is
to survive in a competitive world. Apologies of any kind whether pertaining to lack of resources
or other limitations, will have no justification, and nothing short of commitment, inspiration and
creativity will make the channel worth its while. There are exclusive language channels already
on-air with some more coming up. We not only have to improve the quality of programming
contents in each language, but also gear up to match exclusivity.
