attempts an analysis of the given article on the lines of change management and the contribution
of the article in the domain of change management. The authors of the article attempt a
discussion on the influence of the perceptions of the concerned organizational employees on the
emotional factors related to the changes that are faced by the organization. The authors further
attempt a discussion on the variations that are observed within the organization in terms of the
collective emotions that are demonstrated by the employees of the organization before and after
the completion of the structural changes at the higher educational organizations.
