Abstract

Purpose

Despite the relevance of how enterprise architecture (EA) contributes to organizational performance in contemporary digital technology-driven strategic renewal, little is known about the position of EA artifacts. Therefore, this study aims to build an integrative model of EA artifact-enabled EA value supplemented with a research agenda to enhance our understanding further.

Design/methodology/approach

This study leveraged grounded theory techniques and a systematic review approach to develop the integrative model and research agenda.

Findings

We inductively build a model of the position of EA artifacts in EA value creation. Additionally, we elaborate a research agenda that proposes (1) an investigation of the role of an EA practice in successful strategic change, (2) an examination of how to manage EA practice value generation and (3) longitudinal research to gain insight into the evolution of value creation by EA practices.

Originality/value

This study presents a model of EA artifact-enabled EA value, thereby contributing to our understanding of the mechanisms, inhibitors and success factors associated with EA value. Following our model, the proposed research agenda contains future research areas to help us better understand the mechanisms and interrelatedness of EA practices in highly dynamic environments.

企业架构价值的综合模型：定位其人工制品的基础理论研究

目的尽管在当代数字技术驱动的战略更新中，企业架构（EA）与组织绩效息息相关，但人们对 EA 工件的地位却知之甚少。因此，本研究旨在建立一个由 EA 工件驱动的 EA 价值综合模型，并辅以研究议程，以进一步加深我们的理解。研究结果我们归纳建立了一个 EA 工件在 EA 价值创造中的地位模型。此外，我们还拟定了一项研究议程，建议（1）调查 EA 实践在成功战略变革中的作用；（2）研究如何管理 EA 实践价值的产生；（3）开展纵向研究，深入了解 EA 实践价值创造的演变过程。原创性/价值本研究提出了一个 EA 工件驱动 EA 价值的模型，从而有助于我们了解与 EA 价值相关的机制、抑制因素和成功因素。根据我们的模型，建议的研究议程包含了未来的研究领域，以帮助我们更好地理解高度动态环境中 EA 实践的机制和相互关联性。
