Purpose

Despite the relevance of how enterprise architecture (EA) contributes to organizational performance in contemporary digital technology-driven strategic renewal, little is known about the position of EA artifacts. Therefore, this study aims to build an integrative model of EA artifact-enabled EA value supplemented with a research agenda to enhance our understanding further.

Design/methodology/approach

This study leveraged grounded theory techniques and a systematic review approach to develop the integrative model and research agenda.

Findings

We inductively build a model of the position of EA artifacts in EA value creation. Additionally, we elaborate a research agenda that proposes (1) an investigation of the role of an EA practice in successful strategic change, (2) an examination of how to manage EA practice value generation and (3) longitudinal research to gain insight into the evolution of value creation by EA practices.

Originality/value

This study presents a model of EA artifact-enabled EA value, thereby contributing to our understanding of the mechanisms, inhibitors and success factors associated with EA value. Following our model, the proposed research agenda contains future research areas to help us better understand the mechanisms and interrelatedness of EA practices in highly dynamic environments.

企业架构价值的综合模型：定位其工件的扎根理论研究

目的

尽管企业架构 (EA) 如何在当代数字技术驱动的战略更新中为组织绩效做出贡献，但人们对 EA 工件的地位知之甚少。因此，本研究旨在建立一个 EA 工件启用的 EA 价值的综合模型，并辅以研究议程，以进一步增强我们的理解。

设计/方法论/途径

本研究利用扎根理论技术和系统评价方法来开发综合模型和研究议程。

发现

我们归纳构建了 EA 工件在 EA 价值创造中的地位模型。此外，我们还制定了一项研究议程，建议 (1) 调查 EA 实践在成功战略变革中的作用，(2) 检查如何管理 EA 实践价值生成，以及 (3) 纵向研究以深入了解 EA 实践的价值。 EA 实践价值创造的演变。

原创性/价值

本研究提出了 EA 工件启用的 EA 价值模型，从而有助于我们了解与 EA 价值相关的机制、抑制剂和成功因素。根据我们的模型，拟议的研究议程包含未来的研究领域，以帮助我们更好地理解高度动态环境中 EA 实践的机制和相互关联性。
