The principal feedback that I got from the DMIT course this week (mainly from my senior advisor Ojelanki Ngwenyama) was to stop my empirical investigations at this point and read much more. I need to define my concepts more detailed and I need to define the artefacts that I will be looking for when studying enterprise architecture in public institutions.
Based on my EEAG macro-framework (at least!) two approaches could be adopted. I am currently trying to both – but I need to select one level of analysis. With institutional theory from political science I can see the institutions involved as aggregated actors and understand how EA affects them (EEAG: the sector level or the national level). But, I can also study the EA-implementation process in 3 or 4 organizations and look at the affect on individuals and rules in the institutions (EEAG: the institutional level). Whatever I do, I will be sitting at my desk for a while now

So, why weren’t you at your desk yesterday?
Seriously, this sounds like a wise prioritasion.
Yesterday was a holiday in Denmark! I am at ITU today – trying to define my theoretical lense in detail. I have been using institutional theory so fare to see what is happening in the institutions when EA is introduced. But, Ojelanki Ngwenyama suggested that I should look at structuration theory by Giddens, so now I am reading Orlikowski and others…
