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 2017 call → NO我们根据提供的财报电话会议记录,判断管理层是否描述了一个可识别的、目前仍占公司整体业绩较小部分的主动举措,并且同时满足两个条件:(1) 客户反应超出公司准备;(2) 公司正在采取具体措施扩大投入。 在记录中,管理层多次提到“Connected Enterprise”战略,但这是公司整体战略,不是较小的部分。关于具体举措,如“powertrain and EV”业务,管理层提到“in 2018, we expect the contribution from powertrain and EV to be $100 million worth of business in our automotive segment”,并说“three or four years ago, that was a zero”,这表明该业务在增长,但并未明确说客户反应超出准备。也没有提到公司正在增加产能或人员来应对超出预期的需求。 关于“process”业务,提到“Our process business improved, and was up 9% year-over-year organically”,但同样没有提到超出准备。 关于“Connected Enterprise pilots”,提到“Our pilots are progressing well and expanding in all industries”,但未说需求超出准备。 关于“oil and gas”回归增长,但那是行业复苏,不是特定举措。 因此,没有找到明确符合两个条件的描述。答案应为NO。
