kakasveta [241]

Answer:

The correct answer is corporate culture.

Explanation:

Corporate or organizational culture is, basically, the ideology of a company: the set of attitudes, habits, beliefs and behaviors of the human group that makes it up, the way they interact and the way they manage external business transactions.

It can be developed intentionally according to the direction in which the company moves in terms of style, priorities and values, or in a more organic way as a result of the sum of the characteristic features of its members and the nature of the interaction between them.

The culture of a company is reflected in its public image, its dress code, its business hours, its facilities, the benefits of its employees, its sales volume, hiring decisions, the treatment of customers and the degree of satisfaction of them and all other aspects of operations.

hjlf

First movers are firms that take an initial competitive action.

A service or product that enters the market first and captures a competitive advantage is known as a first mover. Being the first usually allows a business to build a strong brand awareness and client loyalty before rivals enter the market. Other benefits include having more time to perfect its offering and determining the new item's selling price.

Industry's first movers are virtually always followed by rivals looking to capture market share and capitalize on their success. The market share held by the first mover is frequently maintained because it has built a strong enough client base and a large enough market share.
