La estrategia empresarial goza de un nivel importante de popularidad entre los estudiosos de la gestión empresarial, sin embargo, son pocos los trabajos que a la fecha abordan el tema específico de este escrito. El objetivo de la presente investigación es analizar la relación existente entre estrategia y calidad en las empresas ganadoras del Premio Colombiano a la Calidad de la Gestión, sector servicios, durante los años 2013 y 2014. El estudio es de carácter exploratorio y descriptivo, se trabaja con 7 de las 9 empresas galardonadas en el periodo mencionado, en las que se examinan 18 variables. El método utilizado es Análisis de Correspondencias Múltiples, que posibilita la reducción de una gran cantidad de información en un número limitado de factores, con la menor pérdida posible de información. Se concluye que para adaptarse a los cambios, las empresas que tienen estrategia de enfoque y de estabilidad se asocian con el establecimiento de procesos, mientras que aquellas con estrategia proactiva, de diferenciación y de crecimiento, se relacionan más con la modificación de los mismos.

This research aims to identify the relationship between strategy and value generation in service-providing companies that have won the Premio Colombiano a la Calidad (Colombian Management Quality Award) from the Ministerio de Comercio, Industria y Turismo (Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Tourism) in the period 2013-2014, an accolade created to stimulate companies that stand out for having a practical approach towards aspects such as the creation of value for stakeholders. The methodology is of deductive, exploratory and descriptive nature, while information was obtained from seven companies through multiple case analysis. The results indicate that the studied companies display a direct relationship between strategy and value generation, have an integral, holistic and systemic vision, have a formal strategic process of formulation, implementation and control, bestow some participation onto their stakeholders, and acknowledge human talent, corporate image and financial resources as strategic factors. We concluded that the strategic orientation of companies for the generation of value is focused on the type of product or service, size and growth, profitability and market category. Moreover, the analyzed companies reckon fundamental elements in their value-creating system to generate a competitive advantage.
