Demand pull is outrunning the plan for one still-small offering, and the company is visibly re-pointing itself at it
The model's full reasoning — Q2 2017 call → NO我们根据提供的电话会议记录,判断管理层是否描述了一个可识别的、目前仍占公司整体业绩较小部分的主动举措,并且同时满足两个条件:(1) 客户反应超出公司准备;(2) 公司正在采取具体措施扩大投入。 在记录中,Sven Lindblad 提到了“新的基地营巴哈(Baja)探险”,与 exhale spa 合作,在 National Geographic Sea Bird 上提供以活动和健康为重点的短途(3-4天)航程。这是一个新的、较小的举措。关于客户反应,记录中并未明确提到该举措的当前实际预订或需求超出准备。Sven 说“我们相信这将更广泛地利用”,但未提及实际反应。关于公司响应,也没有描述正在采取的具体扩大措施。因此,不满足条件。 另一个可能的举措是 National Geographic Quest 的推出,但这是新船,属于主要增长战略,且记录中提到的需求强劲,但并未明确说超出准备,且公司正在应对的是延迟问题,而非需求超出。此外,Quest 是公司整体业务的一部分,不算“较小部分”。 因此,答案应为 NO。
