number of tools and approaches which can be adopted. The first consideration is to look at the type of change needed and
the approaches which can be adopted. One of the more recent models proposes to approaches, Theory E and Theory O. Theory E has the approach and purpose of creating economic
value, whereas Theory O has the aim of adding organizational value; developing the organization (Beer and Nohria, 2000). By looking at each we can appreciate the different approaches. In
addition to this Beer and Nohria (2000) do not see these as inherently separated; they argue that the most effective method of change is when they are both used in
conjunction with each other. Theory E takes the hard approach; this is the task orientated functional approach (Beer and Nohria, 2000). This may be seen as strongly in line
with Milton Freidmans ideas. Friedman highly regarded economist, capitalist and Nobel Prize winner. Friedman had a simple view on the responsibility of a company (Chryssides et al, 1998). Friedmans argument
