Research into Enterprise Architecture (EA) has, in recent years, shifted its emphasis to theory creation in the literature. Expertise in enterprise architecture (EA) is highly sought after by academics because of its potential to help organizations better coordinate their technology investments with their long-term strategic objectives. Even though there has been more study of EA recently, many questions remain unanswered. The most glaring problems are the lack of concrete evidence on how EA-based capabilities drive business transformation and offer firm advantages, and the lack of a sound theoretical foundation for conceptualizing EA-based capabilities. Using the dynamic capabilities viewpoint as theoretical grounding, this study zeroes in on EA-based capabilities, developing and accessing a novel research model that explains how such capabilities contribute to organizational advantages. Knowledge gained from this study will help businesses reap the benefits of properly identifying and designating the dynamism inherent in their enterprise architecture.
