Whether you are a business professional or an academic, this resource will be invaluable in your pursuit of knowledge and expertise in the field.

The book presents an approach for the development, implementation, or institutionalization of EA that is independent of any specific method or other architecture frameworks. It can be applied directly using a realistic selection of organizational variables. The approach possesses two distinctive features that support EA, even in complex environments:

From both technical and non-technical perspectives, it identifies influencing factors and how they manifest in the practice of EA within an organization.
It provides linear and practical mechanisms for developing and implementing EA to strengthen the practice of the concept within an organization.

This approach represents a substantial contribution to EA.

The book begins by providing an overview of EA, including its definitions, objectives, and benefits. It then delves into deeper models and frameworks for the development and implementation of EA at the domain level. Additionally, it covers factors upon which a model is built for the institutionalization of the concept. The book also discusses the implications of EA for sponsors, architects, and other stakeholders responsible for EA development, implementation, and institutionalization.

By offering a comprehensive and practical approach to EA development and implementation, this book empowers organizations to navigate the complexities of the field and achieve their strategic goals more effectively. It serves as a valuable resource for both business professionals and academics seeking to advance their understanding and expertise in enterprise architecture.
