Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA): An Empirical Investigation of Adoption Determinants and Resulting Business Value
Doctoral Consortium, 30th International Conference on Information Systems (ICIS), Phoenix (AZ)

Nils Joachim wurde als als Teilnehmer des Doctoral Consortium der 2009 International Conference on Information Systems ausgewählt und stellte in Phoenix, USA sein Dissertationsproposal über den Geschäftswertbeitrag von SOA vor.

Abstract:

This research investigates the economic benefits which Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA) promise. While more and more organizations adopt SOA, virtually none of them is able to predict the realizable business value of SOA ex ante. In contrast to the mature literature on the technological aspects of SOA, the organizational impacts of SOA are not explored in detail in the academic literature yet.

Consequently, this proposal addresses two problems identified in current SOA research: First, a SOA adoption model is developed to evaluate the determinants of an organization’s decision to adopt SOA. Second, a research model for enhancing the understanding of SOA’s business value is developed. The first part of the proposal will draw on the technology-organization-environment (TOE) framework in order to increase the knowledge about the dissimilar impacts of different determinants which influence an organization’s decision concerning the adoption of SOA.

To address the second part of this research proposal, the model regarding the business value of SOA is based on the dynamic capabilities theory. Comparing organizations, which have adopted SOA with varying degree with others which have not adopted SOA at all, allows to determine the realistic economic impacts of SOA on an organization. Moreover, the business value model further investigates IT flexibility and IT business alignment as promising mediating factors which support the actual realization of SOA’s potential business value.
