Sumario:This article analyzes several aspects about the concept of Institutional Isomorphism theory in order to find paths of reflection towards the alternatives for adopting and adapting the ISO 9000 normative on its IWA-2 version within the academic ambit. Institutional Isomorphism Theory and Neo-Institutionalism serve as theoretical frameworks in organizational studies in order to provide a consistentand appropriate base for studying the influence of environmental factors in the organizational function that somehow, motivates isomorphism. Based on this, we travel along the theory and types of isomorphism in which organizations succumb. Through the study of predominate isomorphic mechanisms, it is concluded that the contemporary university regulatory framework tends to pursue academic quality through the application of mimetic isomorphism.
