Description
We suggest an emergent change framework for enterprise architecture. Drawing on Leavitt’s Change Model of Organizations, our framework focusses on socio-technical changes in tasks, structures, actors, and technologies. By applying the framework to a medium-sized company from the media industry and drawing on a relatively unique panel data set (2014, 2016, 2018), we demonstrate the amount of emergent changes and confirm three patterns of change. These findings help to advance the study of change and its propagation across different components of an enterprise over time.
