Further digitalization: It has already been discussed above that the lack of digitalization is a weakness of Ooredoo. It is because of the fact that due to the insufficient technologies, companies are unable to support the network of fifth generation because the data that it provides along with the features outclass that of the previous generation. For instance, Massive MIMO is the technology that can be used but there are not sufficient resources at the moment which can be utilized by the organization. On the positive side, it can be said that the time is passing, the Telecommunication Company is becoming more technological and the organization can take advantage of this opportunity by supporting the technologies which can facilitate the delivery of fifth generation networks (Borucka, 2018).  

5G: In the telecommunication industry, the upcoming of fifth generation networks is actually quite a massive opportunity (Hu, 2016). There is a very high demand of customers in the industry about the wireless networks of fifth generation. Fifth generation of cellular networks offers a wide range of features which are not available in the fourth generation. It is one of the reasons why the arrival of fifth generation is anticipated so much. Ooredoo can take the advantage of this opportunity by delivering services associated with the fifth generation and attracting more consumers (Ayman Radwan, 2014).

Internet of Things: It can be said that with every passing day, humans are connecting more and more devices to the Internet. These devices can be of various types ranging from simple personal devices like cell phones, appliances to industrial devices like robots, medical equipment, and navigation equipment. The interaction of such a broad range of devices through internet without any intervention of human has introduced a complete new concept associated with connectivity and that is referred as Internet of Things which is becoming the mane of many organizations. Ooredoo can also incorporate the IoT into its existing technology and offer a new mode of services to its consumers.

Threats

        Price war: Ooredoo faces a tough competition in the market and to ensure that it is still working in the industry while ensuring that consumers are not preferring others over it, the company has to offer a price that is better than the one which is being offered by the competitors. It creates a price war among the competitors and the organization faces a threat because at the baseline, if it further adjusts the prices, the whole competition will not be beneficial for the company. That is why, the organization has to ensure that even though competitors are changing prices, they are not facing any threat.

Competitive dynamics: In the telecommunication industry, there is a very strong competition and considering the fact that this industry is quite wide, any type of company can enter into the market regardless of its size. This poses not only a threat but it can also be considered a weakness of the organization because it means that the organization has to not only keep the new competitors in their consideration but also make strategies for countering their strategy. For instance, Ooredoo cannot stick to a constant plan if there are new competitors that are entering into the market because they can either steal the customer base of the organization or offer the solutions which might disturb the sales of the telecommunication organization. Therefore, a fluctuating competition is a threat to the organization (Mohanan, 2017).
