INTERNSHIP REPORT
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ii
SCUTIVE SUMMARY
The experience brings me to the tangible feeling of reality in life. Six months o f Internship
Training (IT) in Esthetics International Group Berhad (EIG) shows me how it feels like to be in
the phase o f adulthood. I'm working at one o f EIG's member companies, EIG Management
Services Sdn. Bhd. that is located at Bukit Jelutong, Shah Alam. The IT started on March 1st and
ended on August 15th. Without any experience in the working field, I began to work as an intern
in this company. This IT, as well as this report, is required for my bachelor's degree. I am
majoring in Finance. After completing our courses in various fields o f study, students are free to
decide on a variety of reputed corporate organisations to gain real-world experience. The
objectives o f the study are to gain a better understanding and analyse the company based on the
SWOT Analysis. This report is prepared only by using secondary data.
This report is divided into six major sections. The first topic of this study is an introduction to
the Student's Profile which contains the latest resume. Next, the second topic is the company’s
profile. The subtopics included in this topic are the short briefing about the company, the
members of EIG, slightly detailed about EIG ’s profitability performance, the list of EIG ’s board
o f directors, the corporate vision, mission, and core values, and, the products and services offered
by EIG. Moreover, the third topic is focusing on the training’s reflection which includes the
details o f the activities, any benefit gained, and knowledge. Moreover, the crucial part explained
the SWOT Analysis and recommendations. The recommendations are designed using the SWOT
matrix based on the listed analysis. In the last part, a conclusion is summarised from the analysis
o f the entire study.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
First and foremost, I would like to thank Allah SWT for His guidance and blessings. Due to Him,
I managed to complete this report even though I have been through tons o f hardship in finishing
this report. Since I must work and at the same time I am responsible for this report. This report
is for the subject o f Internship (MGT666), which is the final evaluation requirement to end my
journey toward this Bachelor’s Degree.
This report has helped me gain tons o f knowledge as I must analyse the company based on the
SWOT analysis. Moreover, this industrial training helped me to prepare to face the working force
and the slightest meaning o f adulthood. Furthermore, I would like to convey my heartfelt
appreciation and gratitude to my advisor, Puan Maizatul Saadiah Mohamad. It is because I have
gained guidance that can assist me through the difficulty and responsibilities o f preparing and
completing this report.
Furthermore, I am very grateful to my supervisor, Vicky Law, for the chance and her faith in me
to participate as a Finance Intern in the company. Also, I received cooperation from a handful of
individuals while finishing this industrial training. Thus, I would like to express my gratitude to
Ms. Jane, Ms. Nursyazira, and Ms. Intan Zurina for their valuable support and guidance
throughout my internship.
From the moment I arrived, my co-workers were willing to introduce themselves and make me
feel comfortable. They were always willing to share their expertise and knowledge, and they
were very patient in answering all of my questions and assisting me in better understanding the
company and industry. The staff members were always kind and helpful in guiding me regarding
any requirements or issues I had. I am delighted for the opportunity to work with such a
committed and professional team.

Moreover, EIG profitability performance showed poor performance for the past three years. The
company profitability ratio performances show a downturn trend from the year 2020 to 2022.
The profitability is measured by using the ratio o f return on equity (ROE) and return on assets
(ROA). Both ROE and ROA must be greater than 50% to indicate that the company’s
profitability performance is good. In Table 1 both percentages of ROE and ROA drop drastically
to a negative figure. This is because the company generated a low profit throughout the years
which from RM 5,612,000 in 2020 to -RM 6,129,000 in 2022.
In brief, ROA is used to identify if management earned sufficient profit from its assets. This ratio
is important for determining how successfully a company's finances have been used. Better
performance indicates the high value o f ROA because the return rate is higher. Meanwhile, ROE
also known as own capital profitability, is a ratio used to calculate net profit after tax using own
capital and generating net profit accessible to investors or owners. ROE demonstrates
management's success or failure in maximizing shareholders' return on investment and
emphasizes the return on income relative to the amount invested (Choiriyah et al., 2021).

The industrial training required for UiTM degree students is 24 weeks, and I begin my internship
on the 1st o f March. This internship ended on August 15th . EIG ’s headquarter is operated as same
as the most o f the companies out there, which is from 8 a.m. and until 5 p.m. However, the
operation hour is flexible, where the workers must arrive at least by 09:30 a.m. It only operated
in weekdays; thus, I am working only on Monday to Friday. While for the lunch hour is from 12
p.m. to 1 p.m. As a finance student, I am assigned to the finance department. In EIG Management
Services Sdn. Bhd., the finance team is divided into two teams, the Malaysia Team and the
Regional Team. Therefore, I was positioned in Malaysia Team.
On the first day of the industrial training, I was assisted by Catherine Khor for a short briefing
regarding the company and an office tour with the other new workers. Before I started working
in this company as an intern, I received the offer letter from the company, showing my allowance
for each month is RM800. Furthermore, the staff get the meal benefit where we can cut off RM3.
During the first two months o f the internship training, I temporarily replaced a staff on paternity
and maternity leave, Ms Farah. Therefore, I was assigned to do some of her work that allows by
the manager for me to handle in the meantime. Ms Farah is a Finance Assistant responsible for
EIG Pharma Asia Sdn. Bhd. (EIGP), which she is assisting Ms Jane Tee. As can be seen in the
summary of activities, up until week 9 o f the industrial training, I was busy as there were tons of
different works that required to complete. Furthermore, if I do not have any work to manage
(during the first nine weeks) and starting week 10, I am also assisting the others in M alaysia’s
team, Ms Nursyazira which she handles EIG Haircare Sdn. Bhd. (EIG HC) with EIG D em al
Wellness Sdn. Bhd. (EIG DW) and Ms Intan Zurina handling the Asterspring International Sdn.
Bhd. (AS).
In short, most of the work that I do during this internship period are updating the daily sales of
EIGP and Isispharma, which I must update the sales for the previous date of the current date in
Excel (the data are getting from email and the company’s database, SAP), every Friday or end
the day of each week I must prepare the report of Isispharma customer ageing and Isispharma
weekly sales. Moreover, I also need to make a payment, where the details are explained further
in Table 2. The table shows the summary o f the payment steps to do so it can show the differences
between one and another. Also, I must respond to the phone call and emails. They may request
invoices and the latest stock list or update the SAP for the new price by the Procurement team.
Furthermore, more details on the work assigned to me during the industrial training are described
further in Table 3 to Table 7. The tables consist of the summary of the activities throughout my
internship period.
Nevertheless, after the return of Ms. Farah, I mostly helped Ms. Intan Zurina handle the EIG's
members company, AS. In general, I needed to download the bank statements o f debit and credit
cards, the Ezpay for Maybank Banking Berhad (MBB) and payment advice reports from HSBC.
Including the MBB Amex and RHB transactions. AS have 33 outlets all around Malaysia. Right
after I have downloaded the statements, I need to key in all the transactions in Excel accordingly;
if MBB credit card, debit card and Ezpay, need to key in the Excel of MBB Visa and Master,
while HSBC in the HSBC Visa and Master. Also, same goes for Amex transactions. Moreover,
I sometimes give a task to double-check the staff parking claim according to the AS outlets' staff
and at the end of the month, key in the journal voucher in the SAP for the collection payments.

Usually, every payment is compensated during the middle o f the month. Types of payments
made are ACH Credits, priority and inter-co transfers. The payment is also divided into two ways
to process, which are manual payments and upload payments. To be precise, there are slightly
different ways when processing the payment. Briefly, for the manual payment, the payment
voucher (PV) must be prepared using Excel for overseas payments or generated directly using
the company's system (SAP) if the supplier is from Malaysia. Meanwhile, the upload payments
must prepare the PV using SAP as the Giro listing (Excel) is easily generated directly by the
system. Thus, when making the payments in the bank must upload using the CSV file (Excel).

5.1 DISCUSSION
5.1.1 Strengths
a. High quality products.
Improving product or service quality is a key challenge for the business while
competing in global marketplaces. The utility or usefulness and a product’s
functions are frequently related to its quality. Quality is a factor in a product that
causes it to be valuable in relation to the aim for which the product is made
(Rachman, 2018). EIG is very concerned and puts tons of attention into
developing its products so it does not bring any harm to any of its users. For
instance, since it was founded in 2004, Clinelie has been committed to offering
products free of the 1600 known dangerous chemicals that may trigger skin
irritation, premature ageing and harm to skin health. Nonetheless, the business is
dedicated to sharing its dermatological legacy by using only effective natural
products to preserve the skin. Moreover, Nurish Organiq skincare is made with
100% organic ingredients and natural extracts that are free of dangerous
chemicals. It has undergone dermatological testing and is devoid of mineral oil,
artificial colouring, lanolin, SD-alcohol, sulphate, paraben, and comedogenic
substances.
Every company has a distinct goal and justification for being. This distinguishing
feature should be represented in mission and vision statements. The nature of a
company’s mission and vision might represent a competitive advantage or
disadvantage for the company (Djordjevic, 2021). EIG has a clear mission and
vision where the statements are straightforward to understand and acknowledge.
To be precise, EIG is focusing on offering their fellow customers beauty or
wellness products as displayed in their vision. Examples of products distributed
by EIG are skincare makeup from Jane Iredale, hair care products from Davines
and GHD, supplements and much more. Besides, they offer their customers
5.1.2 Weakness
b. Low profitability.
As previously mentioned, Table 1 shows EIG ’s performance for the past three
years, and it can be seen that the company’s profitability ratios have a negative
value. This is due to the net profit declining drastically. EIG has generated a
negative figure o f profit in 2022 as compared to 2020. Thus, due to the low
income, it is resulting in a negative value o f the profitability ratio. It indicates that
the firm has a very unfavourable degree of profitability because the ratio is
.1.3 Opportunities
.1.4 Threats
a. Existing competitors present strong competition.
Nowadays, there are tons o f skin care products that are offered in the market. EIG
is having a strong competition with competitors that offer a lower price. As
previously mentioned, EIG offers their products at high prices to their consumers.
Therefore, the company’s target market will be narrowed to only the high-income
household. Since people may not afford the price that is offered by the company.
So, they will purchase products from the company that offer more affordable and
cheaper prices. According to Zhao et al. (2021), when examining the combined
influence o f product price and packaging relationships on customer purchasing
behaviour, pricing alone is more important than packaging, which only plays a
minor role in purchasing behaviour. This explains that price is a very important
component to be looked at in order to grab the consumer’s attention. Furthermore,
the Korean wave is influencing skincare users in Malaysia. This has been proved
by the study by Nizam et al. (2019); based on the result of the analysis, the Korean
Wave influence has a positive significant relationship that affects the purchasing
behaviour o f beauty consumers.
b. Exchange rates.
as the United States, Switzerland, France, Korea and others. EIG products are not
manufactured in this country; thus, the fluctuation in the exchange rates may
affect the business income as they must have to bear high costs to pay the
suppliers from abroad due to significant currency differences. Especially when
the Malaysia ringgit is dropped. This is a difficult scenario for the business
because product price is essential to covering operational costs, paying workforce
members, and ensuring the company's long-term viability. According to the
current news by Ashiqin and Nurul Najmin (2023), Dr Mohamad Idham Md
Razak, senior lecturer at Universiti Teknologi MARA's faculty of business and
management, predicted a sustained ringgit fall due to a variety of causes. These
highlighted challenges confronting the Malaysian economy, such as declining
growth, increasing inflation, and a widening current account deficit, which might
make the ringgit more vulnerable to depreciation.

Firstly, the recommendations are formed based on the strategy of the SWOT Matrix. Briefly,
SWOT Matrix is the matching tool created by the SWOT analysis, which is developed into four
types o f strategy. The strategies are SO strategy, ST strategy, WO strategy and WT strategy.
Therefore, three recommendations will be delivered, which lies in the strategy of SO, WO and
WT.
The first recommendation for Esthetics International Group Berhad (EIG) is to develop new
services by considering new market segments. This strategy is developed under the SO strategy
(S2, 02). As EIG is a company that focuses on beauty and wellness, they may penetrate their
business with different market segments. They can offer a service of postpartum care which
focuses on the women after their delivery. According to research conducted in Malaysia,
traditional postpartum practises are regularly practised by moms after they deliver their kids (Siti
Munirah et al., 2019). Therefore, it can be indicated that it is a good opportunity for the company
to consider postpartum care as one of the services offered to consumers. They may establish one
more company member that offers postpartum care services. Maternity Confinement is a
traditional therapy that has become a tradition for women who are giving birth. The intention of
confinement is to recover, restore energy and health within a specific time range. Each ethnicity,
whether Malays, Chinese, or Indian, has its own distinct postnatal care procedures (Mohd Yusoff
et al., 2018). With this, it can be seen that postpartum care provides a wide range o f services; as
in Malaysia, we have different types of ways to perform the traditional treatment after giving
birth, depending on the race. In the meantime, they can grab the opportunity to promote their
products to the customers by offering a gift o f the suitable products along with the confinement
package offered.
Next, collaborate with influencers to create brand awareness and higher engagement. With the
subsequent expansion of social media, influencer marketing has emerged as a new and effective
brand marketing method that marketing executives are interested in. Companies engage with
influencer marketing techniques to attract potential consumers, motivate them to connect with
brands and build positive relationships with customers. Moreover, influencer marketing benefits
companies by establishing authentic and long-term relationships with their target audiences on
social media and through the content they deliver. Influencer marketing, as compared to simple
purchases, focuses on brand recognition and emotional direction (Liu, 2021). Even though the
company sells high-priced products, the fans are willing to spend their money due to the
influence of their favourite ones. The impact that they bring is very practical and effective
towards the consumers. Moreover, the findings confirm that the influencer marketing strategy
influences the purchasing behaviours of teens and young adults. They influence them through
social media by endorsing things or just exhibiting the items they wear or use. Indeed, when
followers idealise and look up to social media influencers, they tend to pay for the same items
as them in order to seem like them and, in some circumstances, to live identically as them. This
effect that influencers have on their followers, and ultimately on customers, results in the
consumer purchasing what the influencers push, whether it's necessary or finding it applicable
(Gelati & Verplancke, 2022). As a result, a corporation with influencers serves as one of the
most effective strategies for the company to strengthen its online exposure and reputation.
Furthermore, the company must be active in doing consistent promotions to sustain the business
momentum. EIG is offering their brand of Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG), Clinelie and
Nurish Organiq. FMCG is distinguished by a short consumption cycle, rapid consumption rate,
and frequent usage. Non-FMCG, often known as durable goods, are products with a lengthy
consumption cycle and slow consumption speed. FMCG has a larger degree of uniformity than
non-FMCG, and customers' requirements or devotion to their brand would be significantly
weaker. The fundamental advantage of selling fast-moving consumer items through Internet
channels is that they are advertised frequently. It may be observed that online promotion of
FMCG might increase customers' guilt, thus increasing their willingness to purchase (Luo et al.,
2021). Therefore, by actively doing the promotions, it will catch the consumer's attention, and
they might consider purchasing the items as the urged feeling on the frequent reminder of the
advertisement. The advantages given by a sales promotion method influence the psychological
appraisal of the consumer. Consumers analyse the sales promotion offer and draw a profit
judgement (Sinha & Verma, 2020). In anticipation of recovery of the company's performance,
they must keep an active and positive momentum; thus, it will result in the rising of revenues,
market share and profitability.
6.0 CONCLUSION
'Kuf/KKiU.
To summarise, this internship report is divided into six main topics and the main purpose o f this
report is to analyse and get a better understanding o f the company by using the SWOT analysis.
For each of the analyses, two potential points have been listed. Then, based on the SWOT
analysis, three recommendations have been designated that may be helpful for the company’s
performance. For the past two years, EIG has generated a negative net profit. Thus, the
recommendations given might be slightly beneficial for them to increase their revenues and
performance. Even though EIG is a well-developed and public listed company, it might be a bad
sign for the company if they generate more losses in the future. It indicates that the company's
expenses are much higher than its income.
In short, my six-month internship has been an enjoyable and fulfilling experience. I can conclude
that my time working at EIG Management Services has taught me a great deal. Firstly, I was
able to get a better understanding o f the work field and adulthood. This is because, for the first
two months, my body was facing great confusion with the new environment. I am unable to
manage my time properly since I am busy and tired of the work that has been assigned to me.
But luckily, I managed to adapt immediately to the new surroundings and daily routine. From
this internship at EIG, I have gained a greater comprehension of how the company’s finance
department works. They are depending on two types of systems which are SAP and Excel. It
shows a good sign of improvement because as told by one of my coworkers, she mentioned that
before the Movement Control Order (MCO), the company still used manual recording or filing
that required a lot of paper. Nevertheless, I was expecting to gain a piece o f new knowledge on
how the company planned its financial planning at first, and unfortunately, all of it was handled
by higher-ups.
Even so, I still have a long way to go before I fully grasp the deepest parts of finance, and I also
need to improve my public speaking abilities. Time management skills and self-motivation are
two key aspects I have discovered to be important during this internship. Thus, it may be helpful
for me shortly after I start my journey in the working field. Furthermore, I believe that in the
next five years, I will be able to gain more experience and create more connections with people.
I dreamed of having my own business thus, with all o f the experiences and connections it may
be helpful for me when I start my own business in the near future.
