A Measurement Instrument for Enterprise Architecture Resilience Research: A Pilot Study on Digital Transformation

Abstract

Enterprise Architecture can contribute positively to enterprise resilience. In this connected dynamic world Enterprise Architecture Resilience is an emergent area of Information Systems research that is characterized through an abundance of conceptual work with little empirical research. To fill this gap, this paper reports on the development and validation of an instrument to measure various resilience attributes and barriers in context to digital transformation in organizations. We advance an extended model for a multi-stage measurement instrument development procedure, which incorporates feedback from both academics and practitioners. We identify two main contributions: First, we provide a validated measurement instrument for the study of Enterprise Architecture Resilience factors in context to digital transformation in organizations, which can be used to assist in further empirical studies that investigate phenomena associated with the enterprise architecture domain. Second, in doing so, we describe in detail a procedural model for developing measurement instruments that ensure high levels of reliability and validity, which may assist fellow scholars in executing their empirical research.

Educational Technology Students The role of Digital Transformation in accelerating Organizational Resilience in crisis times in Egypt

“…There are different hazardous situations for companies that may require the presence of resilience: for example, natural disasters and monetary and economic crises, or poor decisions and conflicts (Peschl & Schüth, 2022). recently, the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted over the past few months, is that there is a strong need for enterprisewide resilience (Aldea & Sarkar, 2022). The word resilience is traced back to the Latin word resilire, which means, "to jump back."…”

“…Market figures show that consumers are shifting their purchases to online stores, and digital touchpoints have an important role in the customer journey affecting both online and offline sales. (Aldea & Sarkar, 2022)…”

“…Previous research has addressed business continuity planning, contingency planning, emergency planning, disaster recovery, and other pertinent issues. Organizational research has included all of these issues in the concept of organizational resilience, which is commonly defined as the organization's ability to operate reliably under a range of adverse circumstances (Aldea & Sarkar, 2022). For organizations to remain successful and to survive in today's disruptive market environment, they must tackle the challenges that digital transformation, innovation, commitment, new skill sets, and other rapidly emerging new technologies pose (AlNuaimi, Singh, Ren, Budhwar, & Vorobyev, 2022).…”

“…However, digital transformation is not a new trend. It has been pursued by many organizations to a varying degree of success since the diffusion of the Internet at the turn of the millennium (Aldea & Sarkar, 2022).therefore, digital transformation has become a critical path for enterprises to improve organizational resilience and has been widely considered by both academia and business practice (Zhang, Long, & Schaewen, 2021). Fewer studies to the best of the researcher knowledge, have attempted to unearth the link between organizational resilience and digital transformation.…”

Metodología para la evaluación y comparación de marcos de trabajo de arquitectura empresarial

“…El campo de la arquitectura empresarial se basa en los principios de la teoría organizacional, la ciencia gerencial, la ingeniería de sistemas y la arquitectura de sistemas (Le Vély, 2022). En contextos inciertos, turbulentos y en evolución constante, solo aquellas organizaciones que son flexibles, ágiles y dinámicas sobrevivirán en una era digital (Aldea y Sarkar, 2022), respondiendo a los nuevos requerimientos del mercado (Ko¸c et al, 2022;Brée y Karger, 2022). El concepto de arquitectura empresarial resalta su componente tecnológico en la actualidad (Bokolo y Sobah, 2022), integrándose a términos como digitalización, transformación digital (Mikalef y Parmiggiani, 2022) y gobierno de la información (Ilham y Nur, 2022), aunque aún muchos directivos luchan por capitalizar los beneficios prometidos que promocionan los arquitectos empresariales (Ari y Utami, 2022).…”
