A qualitative case study was conducted using interviews, document analysis and observations. This study identified four main categories of factors that influence the organisational readiness to adopt information systems, such as (1) change valence that contributes towards improving the commitment to change, (2) organisational ability that contributes to change efficacy, (3) contextual factors and (4) implementation methods that affect both, commitment to change and efficacy.
