Doing it our way now: the approach this company pioneered is becoming the market's way
The model's full reasoning — Q3 2016 call → NOWe need to determine if management describes that their way of doing things is being adopted, copied, or moved toward by others in their market. The transcript is about Bank of Hawaii's Q3 2016 earnings call. The question asks specifically about whether management describes that their approach, product, technology, method, business model, or way of serving customers is now being adopted by others. We need to look for any such statements. Scanning the transcript: Management talks about loan growth, deposit growth, mortgage banking, solar tax credits, expenses, etc. There is no mention of competitors copying or adopting their methods. They talk about their own initiatives like ATM fleet, branch refresh, digital platforms, but nothing about others following. They mention the Hawaiian economy, but not that others are adopting their way. No mention of industry standards converging on their design. No mention of new entrants modeling themselves on them. No mention of being validated by imitation. Thus, the answer is NO.
