Performance of different organization types

In business, the prevailing theory is that companies can be categorized into one of four types based on their strategic profile: reactors, which are dominated by industry forces; defenders, which specialize in lowering costs for established products while maintaining quality; prospectors, which develop new/improved products; and analyzers, which operate in two product areas-one stable and the other dynamic.

The American Business Review (January 1990) reported on a study that proposes a fifth organization type, balancers, which operate in three product spheres-one stable and two dynamic. Each firm in a sample of 78 glassware firms was categorized as one of these five types, and the level of performance (process research and development ratio) of each was measured.
