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 — Q4 2016 call → NO我们根据提供的电话会议记录,寻找一个具体的、可识别的产品/服务/计划,其中管理层表示客户反应超出准备,并且公司正在扩大投入。 在记录中,Irene 和 Brian 提到了几个举措: - 电子商务业务:增长超过35%,目标是到2020年达到10亿美元。但这是否“超出准备”?没有明确说需求超过计划。 - 中国巧克力(Milka):提到“早期成功”,但未说超出准备。 - 美国巧克力(Milka Oreo, GREEN & BLACK'S):刚进入,未说超出准备。 - 日本饼干回归:提到“预期提升”,但未说超出准备。 - 健康产品(GOOD THiNS, belVita):表现良好,但未说超出准备。 最接近的是电子商务,但管理层说“我们正在建设一个行业领先的电子商务零食业务,目标是到2020年达到10亿美元”,并说“这些努力已经得到回报,因为我们的电子商务业务在2016年增长了超过35%”。但这里没有提到“超出准备”或“需求超过计划”。只是说增长快,但未明确说公司准备不足。 另一个是“well-being”产品,但同样没有明确说需求超出准备。 在回答中,Irene 提到“我们正在看到一些绿色萌芽”,但那是总体。 因此,没有明确的管理层陈述表明某个特定产品/服务的客户反应超出公司准备,并且公司正在扩大投入。所以答案应为NO。
