PREFACE
Internship is an integral part of BBA program, because it gives us the practical
knowledge of what we have learnt during our study period. This report is written
to fulfill the requirement of BBA degree. Trading keeps much importance in
human life. This practice started when the human beings thought to live together
in the formal way. Small groups of people came together and small colonies were
established. This change in living style started exchange of the things. So when the
first thing was exchanged the trade was come into being.
Now a day the business environment keeps on changing everywhere. New
dimensions of business are coming before us. These dramatic and dynamic
changes in business world require the specialties about the all aspects of business
of today. Because of these requirements, business knowledge becomes important
and business education becomes the need of time. Only he person with latest
knowledge can survive in this vast field.
But practical knowledge is also necessary along with the theoretical knowledge.
This made the internship an integral part of BBA. One can see how the theories
and knowledge are being practically implemented. This report is about Divine

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Textiles have been an extremely important part of Bangladesh's economy for a

very long time for a number of reasons. The textile industry is concerned with
meeting the demand for clothing, which is a basic necessity of life. It is an industry
that is more labor intensive than any other in Bangladesh, and thus plays a critical
role in providing employment for people. Currently, the textile industry accounts
for 45% of all industrial employment in the country and contributes 5% of the total
national income. Recent year around 76% of the country's total export income
comes from this sector.
Divine Textiles Ltd. started its journey by establishing the first unit in 1997. One
year later the second unit was established. Divine Textile is a subsidiary company
of Divine Group. The Company was incorporated as a public limited company in
the year of 1994. The operation was started in middle of 1997. Within a very short
time of span the company achieved some significance success. Divine Textile
receives Oeko-Tex standard 100 and ISO-9002 certificates in the year 2000.
Authorized capital of the company is tk. 40.00 crore. It’s paid- up capital is TK.
50.00 lakh. The business lines of Divine Textiles Limited are manufacturing and
marketing of garments and fabric. The factory is located in Kaliakoir, Gazipur of
Bangladesh. Its head office is located at Mohakhali in Dhaka.
Human resource planning is concerned with the flow of people into, through, and
out of an organization. HR planning involves anticipating the need for labor and
the supply of labor and then planning the programs necessary to ensure that the
organization will have the right mix of employees and skills when and where they
are needed. The forecasting methods described below provide key input for these
processes.
Selecting and recruiting good employees for an organization is indeed one of the
most crucial and critical aspects of running an organization as the decisions so
taken to this respect can either take the organization to the heights of success, or a
mistake or wrong decision in the same can altogether destroy the organization. In
this respect, it must be borne in mind that each individual has a valuable
contribution, irrespective of the position or status of the employee in the respective
organization. In the correct age of information and the equally competitive
business environment, it would be somewhat of a futile exercise to select and
recruit an employee simply upon the selector's gut feeling, the handsome
appearance, or even the fast talking candidate trying to show that he or she knows
everything needed for the respective position for which she or he is applying for.
Hence, the importance given to the various checks and measures for selecting and
recruiting good employees, and where possible the adoption of scientific
processes, even though all the checks, measures, and precautions taken for
selection and recruitment may prove to be wrong and may even possibly damage
the company's reputation. Then there is the important, yet equally crucial element
of rising number of candidates for each job or vacancy, compared to the number of
job openings, and the difference seems to be rising every year with graduates and
post-graduates entering the job market not by the hundreds, but by the thousands.
This then calls for selection and recruitment measures that are truly beneficial for
the organization, even though the best of techniques can prove an employer's
hiring decision as being wrong.

Textile Industry in Bangladesh
Immediately after the founding of Bangladesh, tea and jute were the most export-
oriented sectors. But with the constant threat of flooding, declining jute fiber
prices and a significant decrease in world demand, the contribution of the jute
sector to the country’s economy has deteriorated. The garment industry in
Bangladesh became the main export sector and a major source of foreign exchange
starting in 1980, and exported about $5 billion USD in 2002.
The industry employs about 3 million workers of whom 90% are women. Two
non- market factors have played a crucial role in ensuring the garment sector’s
continual success namely (a) quotas under Multi-Fiber Arrangement1 (MFA) in
the North American market and (b) preferential market access to European
markets. From 1995-2005 the WTO Agreement on Textiles and Clothing (ATC)
was in effect, wherein more industrialized countries consented to export fewer
textiles while less industrialized countries enjoyed increased quotas for exporting
their textiles. Throughout the 10 year agreement, Bangladesh’s economy
benefited from quota-free access to European markets and desirable quotas for the
American markets.
export market USA (textile) USA (clothing) EU (textile) EU (clothing)
market share in 1995 <3% 4% <3% 3%
market share in 2004 3% 2% 3% 4%
Divine Textiles Limited 11

As the above table shows, the market shares for Bangladeshi textiles in the USA
and both textiles and clothing in the European Union have changed during the
time period of the ATC. It is uncertain whether these favorable export markets
will remain since the expiration of the ATC in 2005. Textile exports from
Bangladesh to the United States did increase by 10% in 2009.
The textile industry has played an important role in Bangladesh’s economy for a
long time. Currently, the textile industry in Bangladesh accounts for 45 percent of
all industrial employment and contributes 5 percent to the total national income.
A huge 78 percent of the country’s export earnings come from textiles and
apparel, according to the latest figures available. Bangladesh exports its apparel
products worth nearly $5 billion per year to the United States, European Union
(EU), Canada and other countries of the world. It is the sixth largest apparel
supplier to the United States and EU
countries.
Major products exported from Bangladesh include polyester filament fabrics, man-
made filament mixed fabrics, PV fabrics, viscose filament fabrics and man-made
spun yarns. Major garments exported include knitted and woven shirts and
blouses, trousers, skirts, shorts, jackets, sweaters and sportswear, among other
fashion apparel. Bangladesh’s textile industry can be divided into three main
categories: public sector; handloom sector; and the organized private sector. The
private sector is the fastest .
The handloom industry provides employment for a large segment of the
population of Bangladesh and supplies a large portion of the fabric required by
the local market.

Textiles play an important role in the economic life of Bangladesh. The sector, in
addition to meeting the demand of fabrics and apparel domestically, contributes
significantly to the textiles and clothing (T&C) export trade. At present, more
than 78 %of the country’s export earnings come from T&C. The sector provides
employment to a workforce of 4.5 million and contributes 40 per cent value
addition to the manufacturing sector. Textiles as a whole play the most significant
role in the alleviation of poverty, provision of employment to rural women and
economic empowerment of women. The sector provides 200,000 jobs in the waste
recycling industry related to ready-made garments (RMG), contributes 10.5 per
cent to GDP, provides indirect employment for an 800,000-workforce in
accessories industries related to T&C and generates a huge cliental base for
banking, insurance, shipping, transport, hotel, cosmetics, toiletries and
related economic activities. Bangladesh entered the international T&C trade in the
early part of the 1980s, when the Government opted for a market-oriented
economy. Investments in the primary textile sector (PTS), i.e., spinning, weaving
and dyeing-printing-finishing (textile product processors), started at the same time
as the expansion and entry of ready-made garments (apparels and clothing) into
international markets. When Bangladesh entered the global T&C markets, export
earnings were insignificant. For example, during fiscal year 1981/82 (July-June),
the share of T&C in total export earnings was 1.1 per cent (comprising only
woven garments). Over the years, that share increased to 78 per cent of the total
earnings, to reach US$ 8.1 billion during fiscal 2005/06. Immediately after
liberation in 1972, the Government opted for a socialistic

economic policy by nationalizing all big industries. At that time, all large textile
mills were nationalized. However, when the Government opted for a market-
oriented economic policy, the textile mills were gradually handed over to the
private sector in phases. Ministry of Textiles records show that as of 2006 there
were 23 textile mills under Government ownership with 400,000 installed spindles
and a total capacity of 40 million kg of yarn production. However, most of the
mills are non-functional and the machinery is obsolete. Although the performance
of public sector mills has slowly declined, private sector mills have flourished
under the supportive policy of successive governments. Table 1 provides an
overview of the growth pattern of primary textile mills. Since the T&C sector
comprises spinning, weaving, dyeing-printing-finishing, handlooms and power
looms, export-oriented ready-made garment units and other ancillary textile units
table 2 provides a comprehensive idea about the size and contribution of each
sector in the national economy: There are different types of mills in the overall
T&C structure of Bangladesh. Table 3 shows the size and ownership of mills and
the average number of employees (three shifts).

A. Trends in Bangladesh production and exports by markets
Since the T&C sector occupies a very important position in Bangladesh’s
economic life, significant support has been provided by the Government in
meeting the challenges of globalization as well as the negative effect of the
abolition of the Multi- Fiber Arrangement (MFA). The Government initiated some
positive efforts in enhancing the competitiveness of T&C in order to put the sector
on a par with competing countries. As a result, a large investment has been made
during the past few years, mainly in spinning (see table 1). With the increase in
investment, the level of productivity has also risen, providing support for local
exported-oriented RMG units in competing on international markets. Tables 4 to
11 provide an overall view of production, export trade, destinations etc.

It is clear from table that the performance of the public sector is gradually
going down in terms of yarn production and total stoppage in fabric production.
An in-depth analysis of table 5 shows that during recent years exports of
knitwear items have almost overtaken woven garments. Although woven garments,
knitwear, home textiles and textile fabrics all achieved persistent growth during the past
five years, the growth rate in knitwear has been phenomenal compared with the other
categories. This growth pattern has been attributed to the expanding domestic availability
of raw materials due to expansion of the spinning subsector as well as an active
marketing approach by entrepreneurs, supported by a favorable policy package.

Table 6 shows that in woven garments, trousers rank first in terms of export
value. Although woven shirts are in second place, their growth rate is not worth
mentioning when compared with the exports during the past five years. Jackets
have shown a fluctuating trend.

Table 7 indicates that knitwear items have achieved a continuous steady growth.
In fact, items such as T-shirts, sweaters and other items have enjoyed constant
growth. Table 8 provides an analysis of knitwear exports in terms of
destination/market for 2004/05 and 2003/04. Compared with figures for the United
States, Canada and Mexico markets, imports of knitwear items by the European
Union have been very high

(79.18 per cent and 83.33 per cent, respectively, for 2004/05 and 2003/04). In
comparison, the United States, Canada and Mexico collectively absorbed a total of
18.65 per cent and 14.57 per cent, respectively, in the same period. However, in
both regions there was a significant upward trend.
Table 9 shows exports of woven items by destination. The data reflect the export
figures of 2004/05 and 2003/04. In this regard, the European Union ranks first but
the market share is much below that which has been achieved for knitwear (43.30
per cent and 53.04 per cent, respectively, during 2004/05 and 2003/04). In
comparison, the United States, Canada and Mexico occupied first place in 2004/05
with 50.57 per cent and second position in 2003/04 with 44.84 per cent. However,
in both regions there has been overall growth.
Table 10 shows that exports of home textiles (a new item added to Bangladesh’s
textile export basket) have been growing. Most of the products under this heading
are for the European Union market. The European Union market share was 83.12
per cent and 77.50 per cent, respectively in 2004/05 and 2004/04. This is due to
the presence of European Union multinationals such as IKEA having buying
offices in Dhaka. The American region imported around 14.54 per cent and 18.88
per cent, respectively, during 2004/05 and 2003/04, respectively.

to 41.83 per cent and 29.39 per cent, respectively of the total market share of
textile fabrics during 2004/05 and 2003/04. On the other hand, the American
region
accounted for 22.17 per cent and 55.01 per cent, respectively, during 2004/05
and 2003/04. The European Union market consumed 14.10 per cent and 14.89 per
cent of the fabric, respectively, during 2004/05 and 2003/04. In both the American
and European Union region markets, the share declined in 2004/05 compared with
2003/04. B. General export trends for some new products
1. Denim trousers Bangladesh emerged as the number one supplier of denim
clothes to the European market, commanding a 27 per cent share of import during
the first half of 2006. Exporters said that increasing availability of locally-
produced denim fabrics and the enhanced ability to offer the most competitive
prices helped Bangladesh gain a greater market share. Restrictions in the European
Union on certain types of apparel from some Asian countries have also benefited
the Bangladesh denim sector to a great extent.
In terms of earnings, however, Bangladesh ranked third because of the exporters’
concentration on low-cost dresses. The latest compilation of European Union data
shows that, during January-June 2006, Bangladeshi apparel manufacturers shipped
about 24 million pairs of denim jeans in the men’s and boys category to European
importers. Export volume during the same period increased by 26.15 per cent and
stood at the top with 26.76 per cent of total European imports of denims. On
average, Bangladeshi denim exporters charged a 4.03 unit price for men’s and
boys’ jeans, whereas the20 global average was 7.38 per unit.
In the women’s and girls’ denim category, Bangladeshi exporters saw the volume
increase by more than 91 per cent to about 17 million pairs during January-June
2006. Bangladesh also topped the list in this category with 18.59 per cent of the
European Union market share, which was more than double the share for the
previous year. However, Bangladesh lagged behind in terms of earnings from
women’s and girls’ denim

clothes. Local capacity for producing denim fabrics has expanded significantly in
recent years, which has helped apparel manufacturers to cater to the demand from
European buyers.
2. Diversity in sweater exports The country’s sweater exporters have recently
earned an encouraging response from buyers in the European Union by exporting
high-value woolen products made of cashmere, the very fine, soft fabric made
from the hair of Kashmiri goats. Bangladesh’s exporters have doubled their
European Union market share in recent years. The export growth in high-value
cashmere items indicates a very encouraging diversity in the sweater sub sector.
Exports of cashmere items from Bangladesh grew by 108 per cent during January-
August 2006. Bangladesh has emerged as the third-largest cashmere sweater
supplier to the European Union. Currently, the market share of Bangladesh-made
cashmere sweaters is 12.2 per cent while China and Hong
Kong, China, jointly hold 39 per cent, followed by Madagascar at 17 per cent.
Bangladeshi manufacturers mainly depend on wool of Mongolian origin. Since
cashmere sweaters are made of expensive raw materials and need sophistication in
the production process, production is a risk that exporters are afraid to take. If
entrepreneurs want to capitalize on the demand for this product, policy support
will be needed. The emerging trend in the global sweater market is apparel made
of wool and natural fibers. If the industry can exploit the market and gain high-

Managerial Strategy
As it’s major competitors are in the country as well as in the foreign markets,
while concerning with the countrywide competitors, there are major competitors
like Square Textile Mills Limited, Beximco textile limited, Akij textile limited
along with major competitors in European market.
There is strictly needed a strategic focus to face the present intense competitive
situation. The market for textile products is becoming more competitive every
year. The customers are emphasizing on quality over all other thing and can easily
search the most cost-effective supplier anywhere in the world. Keeping this in
mind, Divine Textile focus has been on meeting its customer’s demands and
requirements, improving its competitiveness, increasing productivity, and
enhancing its existing quality control systems. So it has emphasized on the
implementation of the developed strategies. Every element of cost and quality is
continually scrutinized and measured according to worldwide standards by the
SGS Bangladesh limited. Each unit is independently analyzed as a cost center to
make cuts wherever and wherever possible. The Quality Assurance department
has been further strengthened with the addition of trained staff and state-of the art
equipment.
Marketing Strategy
Although it may be the duty of the government to ensure availability of cotton at a

reasonable price, it is the exclusive responsibility of Divine Textile to implement
the total quality management concept. If units are able to minimize wastage,
optimize cost of production, improve quality standards, ensure product
diversification and learn to market the finished products, no country can compete
with Pakistan. Taiwan, Hong Kong, Korea, Japan, are the large manufacturers and
exporters of value added textile products, but are dependent on Bangladesh and
other countries for their requirements of cotton, cotton yarn and fabric. Their edge
is in finishing good quality fabric; producing attractively designed garments
maintaining quality standards and abide by delivery commitments. These
countries also follow different marketing strategies, while the Bangladeshi
manufacturers first produce a product and then try to locate a customer; other
countries produce what the importers demand. Not only this, buyers are often
willing to pay a premium for odd specifications, short delivery time or immediate
commencement of shipments of small lots, extra care in meeting specification and
better quality standards, using better quality package which may not cost as much
as the premium offered. Lately, the manufacturers of yarn having pragmatic
thinking and realizing the tough completion have started producing dyed cones.
They have not only tabbed a new market segment but also get better return. Isn’t
it not innovative marketing?

Divine Textile has to realize the harsh reality that the days of cheap domestic
cotton are over, the import of textile products is being gradually open and quota
regime will be phased out gradually. They know their capabilities as well as
shortcomings, products they can produce and the products the foreign buyers
demand, we have to plan today how would they market their products is the days
to come.

because they have not any proper idea about the prevailing situation and their
decision can be un-fruitful for the company.

by producing knitwear. They have plants and the extra cost for the production will
be low for Divine. They also have better market repute.

Globally Economic instability
Because of the economic instability the Divine and the “Dumping system” which
is rising on daily basis in the world can create many problems for the company
and any uncertainty in the world like 9/11 may also affect its overall exports.

PEST Analysis
Political Instability
The political situation of Bangladesh is not satisfactory. Due to the rapid change
in the Government every government sets its own new trade policies.
Govt. should apply sustainable policies for the beneficial of the exporters as well
as the investors.
Economic situation:
The economic condition of Bangladesh can also affect the foreign investors
increasing inflation rate make the cost of production high and thus reduce the
profit margin of the investor.
Social situation:
The change in the lifestyle of the people affects the growing demand of the Divine
products. The change in the lifestyle and needs in different demographics also
affect the demand of the customers.
Technological factor:
Technological advancement in all the sectors of the country has changed the entire
socio-economic environment. Especially in the textile sector there is a lot of
technological development.
Divine’s excellent computerized machines and devices have made extension in its
present setup of well advanced technology imported from Japan, Germany,
France, Hong Kong and UK.
　

Challenge of Textile Sector in Bangladesh
Presently the apparel export sector is multi-billion dollar manufacturing and export
oriented industry in Bangladesh. The success of ready-made garment exports from
the country over the last 30 years that has surpassed the most optimistic
expectations. Necessity of cloth was felt with the commencement of civilization.
Its demand not only increased in items of quantity but also flourished too many
splendor varieties. It is the largest sector in terms of its contribution to
employment, income generation and foreign exchange earnings. Recently, the
number of export oriented textile mills double from 2002, also doubling the
employment in the garments sector as well as the textile sector. But they faced the
trend of smuggling through the porous border, import on false declaration and
under invoicing increased at an alarming rate in the last few years. The blames
also angered both BGMEA and BKMEA as the manufacturers and exporters of
garments, including knitwear, mainly import textiles as raw materials. The
uprising ready-made garments industry and its export earnings are a big success
for Bangladesh. It is necessary to develop the textile sectors for a developing and
surviving export oriented garments industry. DDMCL always confident of
scrapping the old equipment, induction of new equipment, the trained manpower
and the newly installed machinery to increase the volume of production enabling
to secure new markets and thereby increasing the sales. The demand for the new
range of products in the export and local market remains very high. Increase in
productivity and efficiency is expected to have a positive impact in the cash flow
of the company. The management and staff of DDMCL always committed to
steady growth of the Company. It is able to maintain the positive trend of the
company and continues to improve the performance. Consequently the company is
to utilize its full efforts to achieve the target of production as well as the export
and local sales. However, the team is working hard to make the company more
profitable with increased productivity with rational production cost; now the
company is one of the best textile mills in this country. Bangladesh Textiles Mills
Association (BTMA) proposed to the government to set up a Central Bonded
Warehouse (CBWH) as well as SAARC commutation, which would benefit both
the textiles and garment sectors of Bangladesh. Earlier the cabinet decision
rejected the proposal but they decided to increase facilities quickening the land
and seaport formalities helping reduce the “lead time”. As a whole Printing,
Dyeing and Garment industries of Bangladesh have no treatment plant for the
waste products or flow out water. Therefore, there is a fall on its adverse impact on
environment.
We, therefore conclude that the DDMCL has bright future to contribute through
production of quality yarn and fabrics for meeting our garment’s demand. This
depends on sincere efforts of our human resources engaged in the textile industries
and wide participation in global market through consciousness, product
development and diversification.
Competitive Strategy
As for as Divine Group is concerned its own name is its competitive advantage.
Being an
group it has its own name in the field of Textile as well as sugar. As I have told in
the
above segment that it has business of Methane gas in Europe it is its competitive
advantage. As dealing in one different side gives you edge over competitors in
other
field.
Furthermore, its financial assets are also an edge for the group. As being late in
paying
any party makes future problems which result in delivery of any product to be late
and
resulting in bad image of the company.
It’s has many competitor like as the Akij group, Square group, Beximco group
etc .
Competitor analysis
The business environment of Divine Textile is facing tough competition.

Its major competitors are also inside the country as well as in the foreign markets.
While concerning with the countrywide competitors, there are major competitors
and there are also other major competitors in the European markets.
The market for textile product is becoming more competitive every year. The
customer is emphasizing on quality over all other things and can easily search the
most cost effective supplier anywhere in the world. Keeping this in view, Crescent
Textile Mills focus has been on meeting its customer’s demands and requirements,
improving its competitiveness, increasing productivity and enhancing its existing
quality control systems.
Following are some findings of our report:
Ø There are no motivating factors for the employees
Ø Companies personal policies are not good
Ø The performance appraisal are not carried regularly
Ø Company is facing the main problem of textile industry crises in the country due
to floods, leaf curl virus etc.
Ø The company is unable to use its full plant capacity, which shows that technical
staff is not up to the standards
Ø The employees are not much aware of latest available computer programs
Ø The management is not doing anything for the purpose of satisfying and
motivating their employees and the workers, which may lead towards the more
productivity.
Ø Changing Government policies are providing problems for the company
exports policies The short-term solvency and long term solvency of the company
is better and still acceptable, because there is still a margin of getting long-term
loan.
Following are some suggestions:

Ø A proper training should be given to the employees and the workers to enhance
their skills to increase their productivity and ultimately of the company.
Ø The management should make the market survey time to time to get more and
latest information about the market factors like the price, demand, current
consumer trends etc.
Ø As the world has become a global village, the management should have the
latest knowledge and information’s about the world because now a little change in
any corner of the world can affect your business.
Ø The top management should give the autonomy and the flexibility to every
manage to make decisions according to the situation at any time and in the absence
of the top managers.
Ø All the duties and responsibilities of the employees and the workers should be
clearly defined.
Ø The computer technology should also be used in decision making as well as in
storing and feeding the data.
Ø The company should make it possible to deliver the goods to the buyers at the
agreed time.
Ø The company should adopt an efficient appraisal system and give rewards to the
employees who have done well.
Ø The management should recruit right persons for the right job.
Ø The management should be able to assess the problems before it’s occurring so
that they are able to find the ways of their solution.
Ø The management should hire multi-skilled workers to get economy of scale.
Ø The company should emphasize on its personnel department immediately on
emergency basis.
Ø Long-term solvency is good but time interest ratio should also be improved.

Ø There should be decentralization in decision-making
Ø An effective relationship and coordination between the departments must be
there.
Ø It should be realized to be very clear about the advantages and disadvantages of
each strategy to take effective decision about its continuity to make an effective
strategic implementation.
Ø Divine Textile should also introduce its brands in local markets.
Ø Company should give proper attention to deal with dead fabric and made ups.

Recommendation
Divine Textiles Limited:
The first and most recommendation is to eliminate one man show prevailing in
the
company.
There must be a proper system for training of employees and supervisors.
Importance should be given to employees’ turnover.
Different training courses should be arranged for the up lifting and improving
the
quality of work for employees.
There is also a problem of work overload for the employees and it should be
control
properly so that the employees are motivated. As I have seen employees working
till 8
PM. And I have come to know that sometimes they work till 1 AM late night
without any
incentive.
Employees should be paid extra for the work which they do after working
hours.
　

Conclusion
We got a lot of experience from Divine Textile . During our internship we came to
know that how the different activities take place, what are the procedures
The Divine Textile is on the way of progress. It has been earning profit for the
last five years. The management is professionally qualified and experienced.
The Divine Textile should motivate their employees by providing different
incentives. Their salary package is also not attractive. The performance of the
Human
Resource department is also satisfactory.
Divine Textile product is of high quality. The demand of Divine
Textile products are increasing with the passage of time. The company should
expand its capacity as soon as possible to satisfy the demands of their customers.
