Answer: the major railroad companies

Explanation: In 1883, the major railroad companies in USA divided the time zone into four parts to simplify the time differences among them as well as for internal operations.

Answer:

first-mover advantage

Explanation:

First-mover advantage refers to the strategic advantage achieved by the first company that occupies a market segment. In order for a company to gain first-mover advantage it must be the first company to enter a market or at least be the first company to gain competitive advantage in that market.

Unidice is the first company to gain competitive advantage in the data system market because its processing speed is much higher than its competitors.

Sometimes you don't need to be the first one to enter a market, but you need to be the first one to do things right. For example, Microsoft introduced the Surface tablet almost a decade before Apple introduced the iPad, but Apple did it right, therefore Apple gained first mover advantage.
