Abstract: The Universidad del Rosario" is one of the oldest Universities in Colombia, it was founded in 1653, and has since then been characterized as a very traditional University. Within the University, one of the Faculties has developed a deeply rooted cultural change which has transformed the nature of its performance. This research explores this change using a model which studies the culture as a complex reality. The results of this paper are very interesting from a theoretical viewpoint, as they are an example for change agents of how a very old and traditional academic setting could be transformed and how to study this issue.**************************************************************************************************************La Universidad del Rosario es una de las universidades más antiguas de Colombia, fundada en 1653 y, desde entonces, caracterizada como una universidad tradicional.
