See: 4.1 Perceived EAM Value
"None
of the respondents completely agree with being satisfied with their
organization’s current EAM practices. About 70% disagree with the claim"
*** Pages 37-39
See: TABLE 8 Perceived EAM Value
Page-40:
"Overall,
of the synthesized constructs of EA Product Quality, EA Service
Quality, EA Culture/Attitude, EA Product Use, and EA Service Use,
presented in chapter 2.4.4, all were present in EAM value creation."
*** Important, Page-46
5.3 Limitations
"The
results do not come without limitations to validity. With 47
respondents, the sample size of the primary research was significantly
limited. The total methodology of the study was novel, with certain
exploratory features. Thus, the results are advised to be interpreted
as preliminary. The great majority of respondents worked in large
organizations with over a thousand employees, meaning this demographic
is best suited when interpreting the results. It may be that EAM value
is more likely to be achieved in the complex environment of a large
corporation. Additionally, all but one respondent worked in
organizations operating in Finland, meaning the results do not in their
large part represent the experiences of professionals working in
organizations not operating in Finland. Thus, it can be concluded the
results may not represent the complete population of EAM stakeholders."

"Another
notable limiting factor is difficulty in measuring EAM value due to its
typically indirect and/or intangible nature (Kluge, Dietzsch and
Rosemann, 2006; Tamm et al., 2011)."

- "Due to complex historical reasons, the notion of enterprise architecture was always surrounded by endless speculations, dangerous myths, non-existing best practices, unfulfilled promises, expensive failures and grave disappointments. Traditionally the entire discourse around enterprise architecture was dominated by shallow advice and faddish approaches (e.g. well-known EA frameworks) infinitely distant from the practical realities, but nonetheless aggressively promoted by commercially motivated consultancies and gurus."
