dc.description.abstract | This thesis discusses enterprise architecture (EA) from a systemic perspective in
the context of Finnish public sector ecosystems. EA concerns the elements and
relationships that exist within a sociotechnical organization, describing and
designing coherent wholes. Recently, there has been increased interest in
studying the relationship between EA and systems approaches and developing
EA to respond to the challenges related to the interconnectedness of
organizations. Although EA and systems approaches inherently share common
traits, prior research on the theoretical support of systems approaches in the field
of EA is scarce. Further, the practical application of EA in ecosystemic
environments is an emerging yet little researched topic. The research question of
this thesis—How should EA be advanced to be better used in public
ecosystems?—is answered by clarifying the concepts and the relationship
between concepts involved in the problem and determining the role of various
theoretical, conceptual, and empirical conflicts in the problem domain. The
practical application of EA in ecosystems is addressed by creating design science
artifacts—namely, a management model and principles for the government
ecosystem architecture target state design. This thesis contributes to both
theoretical and practical discussions. First, a comprehensive and overarching
view of the current state of EA is offered, noting that the scope and purpose of
EA seem to be shifting to include a new role in the holistic design and
development of organizations in systemic environments. Second, systems
approaches are explored as providing possible theoretical foundations for EA to
design, model, and manage sociotechnical systems. Third, the created design
science artifacts contribute to the practical application of EA in ecosystems.
Contradicting the traditional view of EA as a structure of one organization, this
thesis proposes EA as a concept for the organizational design of a public sector
ecosystem.
