Purpose Enterprise architecture (EA) is a means of a high level of abstraction of a business’ levels which helps organise planning and taking better decisions. Evidence has shown that the scope of EA is not restricted to technology planning, but the lack of business strategy and processes is the most common problem of EA frameworks. Consequently, a challenge stems from the fact that the formulation of strategy should not be modelled separately but as a holistic approach. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the contemporary problems in existing EA modelling frameworks concerning the optimisation of business strategy concepts and to identify areas for improvement. Design/methodology/approach Studies were spotted using a three phased literature review methodology which was suggested by Webster and Watson (2002). Findings Although, previous studies have attempted to use tools and models to visualise the technological business planning, limited previous study has focussed on modelling strategic planning. Due to issues concerning the lack of guidelines for modelling business strategy, a holistic approach is needed to be made. Originality/value The paper contributes to the existing literature by assessing the current EA modelling languages and their skilfulness to modelling strategy. Moreover, it contributes to the determination of difficulties in modelling, as well as to the examination of ease of use of language in the context of strategy. Second, this paper provides an overview to practitioners who would like to develop effective EA modelling projects, as well as to architects who try to solve the problems of business complexity.

“…Three major approaches for the process focussed on IA are categorised as business model, information process model, and data°o w diagram. Hugoson et al (2008) stated that information sharing can be managed through developing shared database, improving the interoperation, and integrate the enterprise systems. Accordingly, we chose common database, interoperability, and enterprise integration.…”

The struggle for commercial supremacy through information is being fought on two points: Information management and enabling technologies. Over the last years, there has been an increasing focus on information architecture (IA) to help organisations distinguish and manage information as corporate resource. As the information complexity increases, more IA studies show that IA could provide the structural and process design to facilitate enterprise interoperation under the information sharing environment. However, limited IA has been addressed for the usage of managing the information sharing. Motivated by this observation, this paper presents a literature review that IA can be used to understand and manage information sharing, utilising the enterprise information resource statically and dynamically through IA implementation. First, enterprise IA description and de¯nition are presented. Second, we analyse IA from a static and dynamic view to reveal the research streams on an architectural approach for information sharing management. Third, contributions and limitations are discussed. It is¯nally concluded by providing future IA research directions and implications for empirical applications. Our research illustrates that IA deployment imposes a positive in-°u ence on information sharing management.

Interoperability : - capability to interoperate in a shared work practice using information infrastructures

InteroperabilityCapability to interoperate in a shared work practice using information infrastructures -studies in ePrescribing Columbo AbstractThe ability to interoperate between systems, people, and organizations is considered an important issue within eHealth in order to deliver patient centered care. The achieving and improving of interoperability is a complex undertaking involving the evolution of an information infrastructure, sharing of knowledge and resources, governance of the interoperation between organizations, people and work practices, and handling of economic and legal matters. However, there is a weak scientific basis for interoperability, and proposed initiatives to improve interoperability largely lacks empirical evidence of their utility.This thesis contributes with practical knowledge on improving interoperability, based on active participation in and empirical studies of improving interoperability in ePrescribing. A case study is presented that describes and analyzes the evolution of ePrescribing in Sweden since the early pioneering years in 1980s, its growth and consolidation before the reregulation of the pharmacy market in 2009. The case study shows the importance of cooperation between the stakeholders for the growth and consolidation of ePrescribing, and identifies important events in the evolution of an advanced information infrastructure. To better understand the complexity of ePrescribing work practice, a practical theory on ePrescribing was developed. A unique field experimental study measuring improvement of interoperability in ePrescribing, before and after a major intervention to improve the quality of ePrescriptions between 2004 and 2009 is presented. The findings from the field experimental study showed that collective efforts to clarify and align the shared ePrescribing work practice and the ePrescription message contributed to substantially improve interoperability in ePrescribing.Based on the findings and knowledge gathered in the situational inquiry into the evolution of ePrescribing in Sweden, the improvement of interoperability, and the application of theories about information systems actability, communication and organizational theories, a practical theory on interoperation and interoperability aiming both towards the practice and research community is presented. Interoperability is seen as the exercised capability of organizations through their agents to interoperate in a shared work practice in an effective, efficient, and satisfactory manner based on a common ground in a mediated, prescriptive, and nonpersonal communicative setting using an information infrastructure for mediating interoperation. The plausibility that the theory of interoperation and interoperability grounded in ePrescribing is generalizable to eHealth is analyzed.
