Management is buying the same thing twice: proven demand from one place is being replicated into identified new places r
The model's full reasoning — Q4 2016 call → NOWe need answer only YES or NO. Need analyze transcript. Question: Does management describe company as currently in middle of copying a part of its own business that is already working into additional places where same demand already visible? Need identify if management conveys proven instance, copies being stood up now, demand identified at destination, large relative to company, results reflect original. Let's parse transcript. Management discusses strategy, growth, segments. Key possible: CDW UK acquisition? They mention CDW UK integration, cross referrals. But not copying? They opened another market? "In 2016, we opened another market and now have technical specialists, service delivery and sales co-workers in more than 25 major metro markets in the U.S. and UK." That is expanding service capabilities to more metro markets. Is that copying a proven unit? They have technical specialists in markets, opened another market. But demand? Not specific. Also "new Small Business segment" launched Jan 1, 2017. They separated Small Business from Corporate, aligned e-commerce team. Is that copying a proven business into additional places? No, it's reorganizing existing. They added managed services for Azure, network security services team. Not replication. They added 70 new partners in fast-growing categories. Not. They hired 47 new starts in January sales class. That's adding co-workers, not new instances. They mention "we opened another market" - technical specialists, service delivery and sales co-workers in more than 25 major metro markets. This could be copying a proven model (local technical specialists) into another market. But is demand already identified? Not really. Also not large relative? No. Question asks "currently in middle of copying a part of its own business that is already working into additional places where same demand is already visible" - Need all three. Management does not describe such. They talk about expanding service capabilities, but not with demand waiting. They talk about CDW UK cross referrals, but not replicating. Thus answer NO.
