Doing it our way now: the approach this company pioneered is becoming the market's way
The model's full reasoning — Q3 2017 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 Ingersoll-Rand's Q3 2017 earnings call. Management discusses their strategy, particularly in China, where they are penetrating Tier 3 and Tier 4 cities with localized products. They mention that they are growing rapidly there, but they don't explicitly say that competitors are copying them. They talk about their own success, but not about others following. They also discuss their business operating system, but no mention of others adopting it. They mention telematics acquisition, but not that others are following. There is no explicit statement that competitors are imitating their approach. The closest is that they are penetrating new markets, but that's not about others copying. They also mention that they are a leader, but that's not enough. The question asks for a specific phenomenon where others are following the company's lead. I don't see that in the transcript. Management talks about their own execution, but not about others adopting their methods. So answer NO.
