Abstract

This dissertation discusses how organizations can use enterprise architecture (EA) artifacts to adapt to the rapidly changing digital landscape. EA artifacts are documents that communicate decisions, diagnostics, and facts about an organization’s current, transitions, and future states to improve the alignment between business and information technology (IT) stakeholders. Moreover, the EA is the organizing logic of people, processes, data, and technology. We emphasize the importance of dynamic capabilities, which enable organizations to adjust to market changes, and EA capability, which helps design and develop organizational architecture. Our research context concerns the relationship between EA approaches, specifically its documentation practices, digital transformation, and dynamic capabilities.
