[Sia Siew Kien]

Call for Papers
MIS Quarterly Executive, December 2015 Special Issue on Enterprise Architecture for Business Transformation
(sponsored by the Society for Information Management)
We are pleased to announce that the December 2015 issue of the MIS Quarterly Executive (MISQE) will be a
special issue dedicated to research on the theme of Enterprise Architecture for Business Transformation.
Papers will be submitted to the regular MISQE review process under the guidance of the special issue editors.
For the 2015 MIS Quarterly Executive Special Issue, we invite researchers to thoroughly examine
enterprise architecture strategies and practices, with an emphasis on how IT and business leaders can
leverage an enterprise architecture in the context of business transformation. A sound, comprehensive yet
cost-effective enterprise architecture is critical for businesses to remain efficient, competitive and innovative,
in today's and future dynamic and turbulent markets.
We encourage submissions that offer insights into proven practices. In particular, we are looking
for papers that provide new views on enterprise architecture (e.g., enterprise architecture as a service),
specific transformational contexts for enterprise architecture, innovative methodologies and frameworks,
and an investigation into the actual success of enterprise architectures. The editors are looking for evidence-
based practice, which provides new interpretations and rich illustrations of enterprise architecture that
enable and support business transformation. Lessons from individual case studies should be generalizable
to other contexts.
Papers could focus on (but are not limited to) the following themes:

*       Enterprise architecture strategies, resources, and practices

*       Governance for effective enterprise architecture management and evolution

*       New IT and business roles, responsibilities and competencies for enterprise architecture

*       Enterprise architecture frameworks, models, methodologies, standards and tools

*       Enterprise architecture transformation

*       Sourcing strategies for successful enterprise architecture

*       Global enterprise architecture management

*       The business value of enterprise architecture

*       Designing enterprise architecture to enable a growth-by-acquisition strategy

*       Enterprise architecture in the context of business innovation and transformation

*       Enterprise architecture in the era of mobile, cloud, social and the "Internet of Things"

*       The unintended consequences of implementing enterprise architecture

*       The role of design science in building enterprise architecture

*       Enterprise architecture for platform organizations.


Submissions to MISQE should be written for an IT executive readership and should describe practice-oriented
research findings and guidelines. Authors are encouraged to look at prior published MISQE research articles
for presentation models, for example the recently published Special Issue on Cloud Services.  AIS and
SIM members can download these articles free at: www.misqe.org.<http://www.misqe.org/> AIS members can also access MISQE
