Bigger than they can carry alone: management is reaching outside the company for capability it lacks, because business a
The model's full reasoning — Q2 2017 call → NOThe question asks whether management describes the company currently going outside itself to obtain capability it does not have because the business it has already won or is already serving has outgrown what the company can do on its own. Let me review the transcript for any mention of reaching outside for capability - suppliers, contractors, partners, acquisitions for capability, etc. The transcript mentions: - The acquisition of Avvasi Inc. - "during the second quarter, we acquired Avvasi Inc., an award-winning provider of our solutions for measuring, improving and monetizing the video in service provider market." This was an acquisition of technology/capability. But was it because business had outgrown what they could do? The reason given was that streaming video is becoming strategically significant. This seems more like a strategic acquisition to expand capabilities, not because they had too much business they couldn't serve. - The Danaher Communications Business acquisition was completed in July 2015, over a year before this call. That's not current. - The InfiniStreamNG platform - they developed this themselves, not going outside. - No mention of contract manufacturers, outside suppliers, subcontractors, or partners being brought in to handle excess demand. The transcript is mostly about: - Results that were slightly ahead of plan - Service provider weakness - New product cycle - Guidance for the second half There's no mention of the company reaching outside for capability because it has too much business. The Avvasi acquisition was for technology to bolster positioning in OTT space, not because they couldn't serve existing demand. The answer is NO.
