Why can a publisher change an author’s book after approval?

[aimeebrownm]

What should an author do when a book publishing company suggests major changes after the manuscript was already approved? A writer I know was suddenly asked to shorten several chapters, change the subtitle, and remove a section before printing. How can authors tell whether these changes solve real publishing problems or simply reflect a new direction? Which questions should they ask before agreeing to last-minute changes?
