Doing it our way now: the approach this company pioneered is becoming the market's way
The model's full reasoning — Q1 2018 call → NOWe need to determine if management describes that their way of doing things is being adopted, copied, or moved toward by others in the market. The transcript is about Flex's earnings call. Management discusses their strategy, investments, and business groups. They talk about their Sketch-to-Scale strategy, their partnership with Nike, and their growth in HRS and IEI. They mention that they are investing in innovation and expanding capabilities. However, there is no mention of competitors or others adopting their approach. They talk about being a leader, but not about others following. They mention that they are reinventing shoe manufacturing, but not that others are copying it. They talk about their portfolio evolution, but not about industry convergence on their methods. There is no description of others moving toward their way. So the answer is NO.
