摘要
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to provide a guide through which the Zachman Framework can be used to address challenges and for successful implementation of enterprise architecture (EA) in an organisation that deploys it. Design/methodology/approach: Qualitative research methods were followed, within which the case study approach was applied. The interpretive method was used in the analysis of the qualitative data. Findings: Based on the findings, a method is proposed through which EA can be implemented in an organisation by using the Zachman Framework. Originality/value: This is an original research work. Also, the paper has not been submitted to other journal for review and possible publication. © 2018, Emerald Publishing Limited.
