Article on Patterns in Business and Information Systems Engineering published in WIRTSCHAFTSINFORMATIK.

The article From EA management patterns towards a prescriptive theory for designing enterprise-specific EA management functions has been accepted for publication at the MultiKonferenz Wirtschaftsinformatik (MKWI 2010). In this article, the author team (S.Buckl, F. Matthes, C.M.Schweda) takes a design theory perspective on EA management and derives the core constituents of a prescriptive theory for that field. Building on well-established foundations, the paper outlines possible research streams for the advancement of the field of designing EA management functions and outlines concrete research projects.
