fulfillment of its contextual factors (Avgerou & Walsham 2017). According to Davies (2016),
the importance of contextual factors in terms of business firms is increasing day after day,
and with the passing time, the contextual factors comprehend in increasing a human-friendly
relation with their customers. This, in turn, helps the business to achieve an increase in their
