STRATEGY FORMULATION AND BUSINESS DECISION
Production and Operations of Vodafone Albania:
Vodafone Albania has been pivotal in the expansion of lucid and high quality
telecommunications services across the world. The company has been at the helm of the
telecommunications industry for more than a decade (Jica 2013). Today, it has expanded in
various sections of the telecommunications industry and has enabled the company in
providing various kinds of products and services such as smartphones, Vodafone branded
headsets, handsets, voice and messaging services and many other services.
The company mainly operates through its network infrastructure, which is fundamental in its
operations:

The company credits its growth rate over the past couple of years, on these two key areas of
the business:
 Volume: Volume of work is one of the most effective strategies in ensuring better
performance from one of the largest cellular companies in the world. Each section of
the company has some individual work, and these works depend on the subjects
undertaken. There is always information flow between them, by focusing on their
volume of operations. Mobile data was at 63%, addition of group broadband was at
1.3m and 2.1% service revenue growth (Vodafone.al. 2018).
 Variety: The Company focuses on variety of services and has not limited its
operations in just one product or service. The company has found the next big thing in
mobile internet data, as a result of which has introduced various hi-tech internet
services such as 4g networks and connections. This has led to at least 51% average
customer data usage (Sinaj and Leka 2014).
