It was a study of the explanatory type, predominantly quantitative with the thirty-one institutions. The data were treated by means of a predictive model of canonical correlation. The results indicated the existence of an entrepreneurial cultural style and a prospective strategic outlook as the predominant type. The canonical correlation results indicated a strong relationship between the variables, so that it was possible to identify that the 77.88% linear variation of the compound (organizational strategy) of the first function was influenced by the variation of another compound (organizational culture) that make it up. Finally, it can be concluded that this study confirms the relationship between the styles of organizational culture types and organizational strategies of the HEIs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
