  "summary": "“We used to work differently” does not necessarily mean resistance to change. Nostalgia may also reveal what people want to preserve in their working relationships.",

    {
      "heading": "What the literature establishes",
      "point": "Tim Wildschut, Constantine Sedikides, Jamie Arndt and Clay Routledge (2006, Journal of Personality and Social Psychology) describe nostalgia as a generally positive experience, albeit tinged with loss, whose narratives often involve important relationships."
    },
    {
      "heading": "A mechanism of social reconnection",
      "point": "Xinyue Zhou, Constantine Sedikides, Tim Wildschut and Ding-Guo Gao (2008, Psychological Science) show across a series of studies that nostalgia can counteract the association between loneliness and lower perceived social support."
    },
    {
      "heading": "The premature conclusion",
      "point": "It would be tempting to conclude that managers should encourage nostalgic accounts to facilitate any reorganisation."

    {
      "heading": "What the evidence cannot prescribe",
      "point": "These articles are not evaluations of management interventions in organisations in Berne."
    },
    {
      "heading": "A practical check in Berne",
      "point": "During a change in federal administration, public health, telecommunications or precision industry in Berne, a manager could invite the team to translate each recollection of the past into a specific resource worth preserving: access to a contact person, mutual assistance or the transfer of know-how."
