Abstract
Romanian university needs performance of European level; for achieving this desideratum are necessary change programs that can be successfully implemented only based on knowledge and an appropriate approach of the university organizational culture.
The purpose of this paper is to identify the cultural profile of academic organizations in Romania, aiming to determine the strengths, weaknesses, threats and opportunities for exploiting this profile in the contemporary social context, in terms of implementing organizational changes to increase academic performance.
The main objective of the research was to identify for the Romanian university framework of values for each cultural dimension, according to the proposed model for cultural analysis, starting from two representative models for the study of organizational culture, namely: the Fons Trompenaars model and the Geert Hofstede model.
