“…These findings were consistent with research performed in other geographic domains [39]. Unlike these other studies, however, Zheng and Zheng [38] made note of the weak research methodologies employed in most EA research.…”

Enterprise architecture (EA) is one of the most important and effective tools for delivering high-quality e-government services to citizens. In this study, we used organizational performance and change theory to determine factors that contribute to the successful implementation of EA. We classified these factors as one of two types: transformation change (TFC) and transactional change (TSC). To identify these factors, we collected survey data from Korean public sectors that have implemented EA for years. Results show that while EA management systems (EAMS) and EA guidelines directly affect EA performance, laws and regulations, and EA organization exert an indirect effect. Further, top management support had both direct and indirect effect on EA performance. Ultimately, the findings produced by this study have implications for government institutions that plan to implement EA.

“…First, common EA success factors are readily available; however, empirical studies with advanced research models that explain the real problems and difficulties of EA implementation are scarce. Second, most EA studies are limited by the application of non-systematic research methodologies, as noted by Zheng and Zheng [4] among others [37][38][39][40][41]. For instance, Snead and Wright [40] stated that the major problem of EA research is a lack of, or weak, methodology.…”

“…First, a wide range of definitions and concepts of EA exist in the literature [3,4], and its methods of implementation tend to vary considerably depending on the implementer and respective country. Further, although commonly-accepted frameworks, systems and methodologies do exist [5][6][7][8][9][10][11], the scope and level of EA practices vary from organization to organization and from country to country.…”

Enterprise architecture (EA) is one of the most important tools for implementing e-government effectively and delivering high-quality information technology services to citizens. To develop a robust EA research model with key success factors, we apply the theory of organizational change proposed by Burke and Litwin, using the concepts of transformational and transactional change. The analysis is conducted by using South Korea's EA project launched in 2003. This study classifies EA implementation in the South Korean public sector into three stages and explains the characteristics of each stage from the organizational change perspective. We raise the issue of EA application level compounded by the problem of diverse EA definitions and discuss the difficulties of EA implementation based on the framework of organizational change. In addition, 20 EA experts are surveyed to confirm the findings of this study. Finally, we propose a new research model for future empirical study based on the presented findings. We believe that this study, as an in-depth review of EA implementation from an organizational change perspective, will benefit EA experts from a practical point of view, as well as academics from a research perspective.

“…EA considers the organization as whole instead of focusing on a given section, individual component and/or projects of such (Zheng & Zheng, 2013). It possesses several detail levels and representations which allow the alignment of these with business processes, making it possible for stakeholders to visualize all of the organization's information and scenarios (Bischof et al, 2015;Niemann, Miede, Wolfgang, Repp & Steinmetz, 2010); it also includes the integrated form of the organizations' structure and its processes, applications, systems and techniques (Lankhorst, 2009;Iyer & Gottlieb, 2004).…”

Enterprise architecture (EA) is defined as a high-level strategic modeling, which has been shaped to help managers deal with the complexity of the business environment. Just as many areas of knowledge have been the focus of researchers on what regards testing and verifying them as scientific or not, EA is the focus for the analysis conducted in this study. Among the many scientific demarcation criteria are the philosopher Karl Popper's ideas, which only consider as scientific theories that can be properly tested and are falsifiable. This study aims to analyze how studies related to EA, considering Popper's scientific demarcation criteria, contribute to the acknowledgement of EA as suitable from a scientific standpoint. In an extensive literature review, EA studies that focused on business management in international databases were sought after. The results, when analyzed under the rules that guide the methods used on EA studies, lead to the inference that despite having made great progress, EA still has a long way to go on the search for expansion and maturity of the analyzed criteria.
