چکیده
Information System (IS) flexibility has been regarded as an important indicator of information technology success. This article provides a model of IS flexibility encompassing all stages of IS implementation and usage. The model considers the cognitive factors from IS staff and users as important leveraging IS flexibility with adaptation activities.

Empirical testing is then warranted to refute or validate the propositions. 2 Factors Influencing Information System Flexibility
