Summary/Abstract: The present study aims to present two of the most used international models for evaluating the organizational culture at company level. The models – Denison or Human Synergistics – are using a bottom-up approach, which starts from the employee level, in order to determine the organizational culture profiles, as a result of individual overlapping values and behaviours. The research will illustrate how the Human Synergistics cultural styles and the Denison cultural dimensions and traits draw an accurate and detailed image of the organizational culture at company level. The study is proposing a complementary approach, by using both models simultaneously, in order to obtain a more complex representation of the organizational culture, defined by the capacity of the organization to build a collective identity, in order to seize the changes in the external environment and to transform the threats into opportunities. The result could form a foundation to define a future process of modelling the cultural transformation of a Romanian company, for a better adaptation to the Romanian business environment.
