Consultancy Division
Productivity in Pakistan
is among the lowest in the world. Managerial problems are one
of the toughest obstacles, which face our development programs.
It is not the lack of financing, which holds back various social
uplift schemes, rather it is the poor management experience and
know how to put them into effect.
Development and use of
management consultancy services are therefore vitally important,
and their judicious and wide spread use is bound to improve in
measurable terms, the efficiency and productivity of firms and
individuals.
Today’s management
is confronted with a staggering array of problems that have been
fostered by growing complexity and rapid change in the business
world’s profile. Because of the increasing demand of daily
