Abstract

This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of Enterprise Architecture Management. It addresses questions like: What does EAM mean, what is the history of EAM, why do enterprises need EAM, what are its goals, and how is it related to digitalization? Further topics include the consequences of a laissez-faire approach in a complex enterprise-wide digital ecosystem, which is not steered but emerges “organically.” We also address the related question: if there is a middle ground between unmanaged chaos and exuberant, all-controlling central steering and planning of the digital ecosystem landscape. The chapter concludes with a short overview of essential EAM standards and literature.
