Information for you on strategic type!

Many companies can be characterized as a strategic type: defender, prospector, analyzer, or reactor. Each of these types has its own combination of structure, culture, and processes to complement its dominant strategic orientation. If one can categorize a firm into one of these four types, then it will be easier to predict their likely reaction to future environmental changes. Defenders are companies with a limited product line that focus on improving the efficiency of existing operations. Prospectors are companies with fairly broad product lines that focus on product innovation and market opportunities. Analyzers are companies that operate in at least two different product-markets and are able to adjust their orientation based on the industry they are in. Reactors are companies that lack a consistent strategy-structure-culture relationship and seem to switch strategies after the fact on a piecemeal basis in an attempt to better adjust to environmental change.
