It applied by Miles & Snow (1978) business strategy typology and classified business strategy into two dominant and contrast strategy, prospector and defender. Business strategy is how the company make the decision to compete with its competitors and to sell its products. Compare with prospectors, Defenders have the motivation to engage in earnings management with the purpose of maintaining its reputation as a stable company and fulfill the investor’s expectation.
