Abstract:

This paper combines existing theory on approaches to organizational change interventions and links this
theory to the price earnings ratio method of valuation. In doing so, this paper introduces levers for value
creation that are determined by the appropriate change intervention typology and are influenced by the
constraint of time. This paper then takes this new theory and applies it to a case study. As a result, this
theoretical paper seeks to showcase the importance of time and the possible implications for the chosen
intervention method, which ultimately influence value harvesting for private equity firms.
