CONCLUSIONS
The strategic groups are groups of organizations with common
strategic interests.
In Romania there are two types of strategic groups of higher
education, namely:
The strategic group of state universities,
The strategic group of private universities.
The two types of strategic groups differ in the financing mechanisms
that causes a different approach of management in general and of strategic
management in particular. Analyzing the external environment of higher
education organizations, at some point, it appears that the most powerful
forces are those of strategic groups, while those of the external environment
are usually the weakest.*
