Abstract:

tSmall and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) have inherent resource and capability constraints. Competing in a dynamic, collaborative, global environment, SMEs need a strategic management tool to help develop the requisite capabilities, structure, and integrate and leverage the underlying IT resources in line with the dynamic market and environmental conditions. We argue that the SMEs combined internal and external environmental challenges call for the support of an Enterprise Business Architecture (EBA) framework a new strategic tool to facilitate the SME development and management of resources and to capitalize on the environment opportunities. From an extensive exploratory literature review, this paper highlights the limitations of existing IT architectural frameworks for SMEs and explicates the underlying drivers of SME requirements for an alternative business-oriented architectural EBA framework as well as the in-built SME barriers to using EBA. The SMEs need for and associated inherent barriers of EBA are also confirmed by industry experts feedback through a preliminary semi-structured online survey
