The specialised literature has documented a variety of performance outcomes related to specifi c characteristics of organisational culture profi les.

The organizations examined belong to a sample of 66 organisations located in Bogotá, Colombia. The study is founded on the Organisational Culture Model of Daniel Denison. This model describes and applies a theory of culture related to behaviour and performance from a managerial perspective oriented to the attainment of results which are critical for the survival and viability of organizations.
