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 others are adopting/copying the company's way of doing things. The transcript is about SB Financial Group's Q3 2017 earnings call. Management talks about their strategic initiatives, performance, growth, etc. They mention they are a leader in various aspects, but do they describe competitors or others following their approach? They talk about their success in SBA lending, mortgage banking, wealth management, etc. But there is no mention of competitors copying or adopting their methods. They say they rank 261st out of 1,630 banks in SBA lending, but that's not about others copying. They talk about their own strategies and growth. No mention of market validation through imitation. The question asks if management describes that others are now following the company's lead. There is no such instance. They claim to be a top performer, but that's not about imitation. So answer NO.
