The strategy defined by Miles and Snow for companies that rapidly follow Prospector companies is "Analyzer". According to the Miles and Snow typology, Analyzers operate in two types of product-market domains, one stable and one changing. In stable areas, they operate routinely and efficiently through formalized structures and processes. In more turbulent areas, they watch competitors closely for new ideas and then rapidly adopt those that appear to be the most promising. The other types identified by Miles and Snow are Defenders, Prospectors, and Reactors.
