Abstract
Numerous models are suggested in the extant literature to explain the adoption of technologies in which pressure considerations of the adoption are not discussed. Based on institutional theory, this study suggests a model for analyzing the three (3) pressures of normative, coercive, and mimetic factors within the scope of enterprise architecture (EA). The model is examined by 255 respondents using the survey questionnaires. The results indicate that normative, coercive, and mimetic pressures have a significant impact on the decision to adopt EA. The study leads an operational review in the context of EA at the organizational level. The results also provide valuable insights into the management of the EA process for decision-makers and EA initiators. � 2020 IEEE.
