- Abstract
- In volatile and customer-driven markets, the ability to innovate is a key success factor. However, the innovation process is only poorly understood. Therefore, many organizations and governments have difficulties stimulating and managing innovation. Enterprise architecture frameworks allow the modeling of different layers of an organization. The ability to apply changes to these different layers should enable the implementation of innovations. However, few organizations can be considered to have completely decoupled organizational layers. Consequently, changes to one layer will impact other layers as well. In this paper, we use modularity theory to make this coupling explicit, and discuss a case study to illustrate issues and solutions related to the coupling between enterprise architecture layers.
