In this regard, the organizations have a robust understanding of the possible changes, whether internal or external, and consider a wide range of policies. The organization must identify all significant changes occurring inside and outside the organizational structure. Therefore, strategic flexibility is related to the organization's capacity to identify the external changes or the changes that have quickly happened in the external environment. This study attempts to identify whether changes from the external environment genuinely enhance organizational innovation. The findings of this study indicated that such kinds of dramatic changes strengthen organizations as it assists in knowing strategic competitors.

The study highlights that flexibility is the most essential tool for organizations to survive, especially when competing businesses in the same industry with the same size.
