New Avenues for Theoretical Contributions in Enterprise Architecture Principles - A Literature Review

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing ((LNBIP,volume 131))

Abstract

Enterprise Architecture (EA), which has been approached by both academia and industry, is considered comprising not only architectural representations, but also principles guiding architecture’s design and evolution. Even though the concept of EA principles has been defined as the integral part of EA, the number of publications on this subject is very limited and only a few organizations use EA principles to manage their EA endeavors. In order to critically assess the current state of research and identify research gaps in EA principles, we focus on four general aspects of theoretical contributions in IS. By applying these aspects to EA principles, we outline future research directions in EA principles nature, adoption, practices, and impact.
