The EAM p ocess, suppo ing he goal o ci cumspec decision making, joins he echnological iewpoin o he business goals. I a no el IT solu ion needs in eg a ion o he exis ing a chi ec u es, engaging he co po a e IT unc ion is necessa y, and hei esponsibili y con inues wi h he planning and execu ing o he ope a ion, suppo and main enance a h ps://o cid.o g/0000-0002-5313-8666 o he new sys em. Howe e , he co po a e IT and EAM aiming a he alignmen o business and IT de elopmen s wi h an a chi ec u al app oach (Ahlemann e al. 2012) can be ques ioned as a “legacy” app oach, wi h “bu eauc a ic” go e nance models hampe ing agile de elopmen bo h o he business and o IT (D ews e al. 2017). The e o e, EAM p ac ices migh need a e ision o cases o agile IT-d i en business uni le el de elopmen , enabling he swi seizing o new digi al business oppo uni ies. In hei co e ing e iew o o ganiza ional (business and IT) agili y, Tallon e al. (2019) gi e a ho ough unde s anding o he complexi y o he p oblem. While capabili y building and he dynamic capabili ies domina e as heo e ical s ance, wi h some, he ques ion o a chi ec u al modula i y (Tiwana and Konsynski 2010) and decision igh s Tiwana and Kim (2015) poin o simila obse a ions as a e igge ing ou in e es in his s udy, especially he co-loca ion o knowledge and he decision igh s poin ed ou in Tiwana and Kim (2015). Resea ch has e idenced he IT co po a e unc ions ans o ming o Bi-modal o wo-speed IT (Ha ke e al. 2017; Ho lach e al, 2016). In academia, he e m ambidex e i y has been coined o he dual IT unc ion capabili y (Lee e al. 2015). An IT uni wi h his double app oach se es he business no only wi h agile de elopmen , bu also wi h new cul u e- changing app oaches, as De Ops, u he joined wi h he business de elope s o BizDe Ops (G uhn e al. 2015). The duali y means also ensu ing sus ained suppo o balanced long- e m planning and go e nance wi h isk managemen a a ious le els. A ‘ as IT’, howe e , is a solu ion only whe e he de elopmen s a e conduc ed in-house, wi h he en e p ise IT esou ces. In ou case s udy, we obse e he need o a business agili y, whe e IT solu ions new o bo h he business and he IT in he en e p ises a e a s a egic choice as new business capabili y enable s. Bo h cases, howe e , see a co po a e s a egy equi ing an assu ed and well managed EA as well. As no all o he de elopmen esou ce is coming om in-house, a e-o ganiza ion o he IT unc ion alone is no sol ing ou case p oblem. The mo e pe inen ques ion is, how o enable simila , agile s a egic mo es in u u e, as he p esen EAM app oach, in hese en e p ises and in gene al, appea s no o ackle he si ua ion. The ques ion o his s udy is: RQ How can EAM suppo business capabili y de elopmen in an agile manne , when i in ol es he building o a new sys em and a new uni , changing he en e p ise s uc u e? To unde s and he manage ial challenge, on bo h he business and he IT side, and o p opose a solu ion o hese cases, we look a po en ial heo e ical explana ions.

Dealing wi h a complex se ing wi h business sys ems embedded in an en i onmen o an en e p ise as a sys em o sys ems, we p opose a sys ems heo e ic explana ion o he si ua ion a hand in Sec ion 2, and discuss he EAM ole. In sec ion 3, we desc ibe wo cases o new echnology induced business de elopmen , and p esen an analysis in Sec ion 4. We e lec he analysis o EAM in sec ion 5. As a esul , we p opose guidelines o a business agili y enabling, dual capabili y EAM in Sec ion 6. 1.1 Ea lie S udies Fo he li e a u e e iew, conduc ed in ea ly 2019, we i s checked bo h he IEEE Xplo e po al and Google Schola and used he sea ch s ings i)“’Bimodal IT’ AND ‘En e p ise A chi ec u e Managemen ’”, and ii)“’Two Speed IT’ AND ‘En e p ise A chi ec u e Managemen ’”.

KEY CONCEPTS 2.1 En e p ises as Sys ems o Sys ems Beyond he p ac ical solu ions, as in oducing agili y o he o ganiza ion o he IT unc ion (e.g. Ha ke e al. 2017), and me hods o agile de elopmen , also ex ended o EA (e.g. D ews e al. 2017), mo e undamen al ques ions o he p oblem ield o EAM ha e been p esen ed (Ab aham e al. 2013; Buckl e al. 2009). To sol e he p oblem o he con o e sial oles o EA o EA managemen : An enable o agili y on one hand, howe e , on he o he , ques ioned as a ‘bu eauc a ic’ and he e o e slow app oach, we s udy he unde lying con o e sy by examining he sys ems na u e o en e p ises. The cases we s udy show he need o an a chi ec u al go e nance o comply wi h he ITG and co po a e go e nance, bu on he o he hand, also he u gency o apidly espond o he business en i onmen change in ol ing echnology. The la e is as compelling om he business side by co po a e go e nance, o sus ain and imp o e he alue c ea ion in he en e p ise. Sys ems heo ies gi e a widely emb aced e en hough no ully u ilized heo e ical scheme, unde lying he EA ield, as a ecen e iew inds (Niemi e al. 2018). Figu e 1 p esen s a simple ske ch o he in e ac ing sys ems in a sys em o sys ems, as an en e p ise can be analy ically seen. We lean on he main idea in he Gene al Sys ems Theo y (GST) and Li ing Sys ems Theo y (LST), bo h p oposing hie a chical le els o sys ems complexi y (Ab aham e al. 2013; Nu mi e al. 2018). Wi hin he en e p ise, comp ising a la ge complex, adap i e sys em (CAS) (Janssen & Kuk 2016), he e a e bo h ully manageable, p edic able echnical sub-sys ems, some mo e complex socio- echnical sub-sys ems, as well as adap i e sub-sys ems (whe e he decision eedom is gi en by he sys em-o -sys ems managemen sys em, con olling he sys ems/sub-sys ems wi hin he en e p ise). A CAS is capable o di ec ing and e- di ec ing hei ac ions and esou ces a hei disposal, acco ding o he signals hey pe cei e om hei en i onmen . The new business capabili y ( ha also can be pe cei ed a new “socio- echnical” sys em), o ms a sub-sub-sys em unde he auspices o a sub- CAS. I s owne ship is no mally wi h a business uni ( he sub-CAS), he whole en e p ise hus seen as a CAS-o -CASs. In a simila ein, Ab aham e al. (2013) ha e in oduced en e p ises as “hie a chical, mul i- le el sys ems”, howe e , lea ing he adap i eness aspec o u he s udy.

A business capabili y en ails he espec i e p ocesses, en i ies, o ganiza ions, people, cul u e, and esou ces needed o success ully pe o m an ac i i y o i s a ge ed business ou come. A business capabili y can be dependen on IT (IT-enabled), o imp o ed by IT (IT-enhanced). Figu e 2: En e p ise as a collec ion o mul iple, mul i-le el sys ems a di e en le els o complexi y The concep o capabili y, howe e , highligh s he need o an “ensemble o esou ces” o building a ‘socio- echnical sys em’ om he ‘ echnical sys em’ wi h he business esou ces be o e i can pe o m. Whe e he e a e esou ces, he e is also owne ship, managemen and decision making powe . The decision making le els (Pulkkinen 2006; Pulkkinen & Hi onen 2005) as well as he sys ems heo ies analy ically p esen ing hem (Ab aham e al. 2013); ha e been a subjec o s udy in EAM. We see ha an e olu i e, explo a i e EAM ha allows o pilo ing solu ions a he business uni le el (a.k.a EA segmen , o domain; see B uls e al. 2010; Pulkkinen 2006) is a ques ion o an ins ance o sys ems e olu ion, inducing he e-s uc u ing o he (sub-) sys ems wi hin he en e p ise.

As essen ial is also he in e nal domain knowledge, also o he exis ing IT esou ces, managed wi h EA. This is needed o he planning and enac ing he change in he sys ems o espond, e en p oac i ely, o he en i onmen p essu es, as he eme gence ai in CAS: Adap ing (sub)sys ems o he business en i onmen changes. 2.2 En e p ise A chi ec u e Managemen Re lec ing on he heo e ical ame in Figu e 1, he ole o EAM is o a ain awa eness, assu ance and alignmen , ac oss all he sys ems, as well as he need o analy ical ools and planning aid (Ahlemann e al. 2012, Douce e al. 2009; Aie e al. 2009). This is needed o he IT ( echnical sys ems), oge he wi h he business managemen and go e nance (Ahlemann e al. 2012). The de elopmen o new capabili ies equi es awa eness o he exis ing IT (and o he ) esou ces and a chi ec u es, as well as he alignmen o goals and esou ces. Analysis o bo h business and IT a chi ec u es, and suppo o planning as he EA echniques does, can suppo agili y in capabili y building and e-building (Pulkkinen & Hi onen 2005). Me hods o agile EA de elopmen (Boekhol z 2017, Ben e e al. 2012) howe e , do no guide in de eloping a manage ial sys em o o e sigh and con ol (EAM).

This p o ides a me hod o implemen eme gen beha iou o a CAS in a con olled manne . Fo he IT o ganiza ion and EAM, in bo h cases, he solu ion o choice was no o es ablish a new “agile IT” uni , wi h, o wi hou EAM, bu o employ esou ces as needed, which esembles mo e he BizDe Ops – ype (G uhn e al. 2015) o o ganizing in a empo a y eam. Howe e , he De Ops mode was no a possibili y, since he e we e no sys em ope a o s o be in ol ed, as he de elopmen was no on exis ing sys ems. The de elope s we e o a la ge ex en hi ed.

CONCLUSIONS Concluding om he obse a ions and hei analysis, an eme gen model o a dual capabili y EAM o building new capabili ies can be summa ized as ollows:  A e conside a ion o business po en ial and isk, a empo a y eam is o med, led by he LoB ha owns he case (as a sel -o ganizing CAS)  Rep esen a i es om he a ec ed LoBs (co- e olu ion) a e engaged in he eam, and he equisi e a chi ec u al and echnical skills a e ensu ed wi h a necessa y le el o ou sou cing.  The con ex o he solu ion is s udied, e lec ing on he cu en EA, necessa ily including he business a chi ec u e.  The scope o he pilo is educed o co e only he no el elemen s, as a de elopmen - ime EA segmen .

This b ings in he mo e adi ional EAM ole o ensu e cohe ency and consis ency o e he whole en e p ise IT. IT is in bo h cases a igge o he s a egic de elopmen case, leading o changes in he business po olios, business a chi ec u e s uc u es, oles and esponsibili ies, and inally po en ially he decision uni s, i.e. en e p ise s uc u e. Inducing his ype o o ganiza ional change is di icul , and he empo a ily isola ed de elopmen ime segmen could gi e he en e p ise change managemen he necessa y space and ime o adjus men s. Thus he EAM allowing o he de elopmen - ime segmen enables a smoo h ansi ion, o he use o a new ope a ional echnical sys em, as well as an eme ging ope a ional socio- echnical sys em.
