The Impact of Social Capital on Enterprise Architecture of Government-to-Government in Iran: A Scenario Planning Approach

Abstract

We combined three areas of social capital, G2G and the enterprise architecture (EA) which are some of the important areas. Due to the complexity of governments’ responsibilities, using G2G EA is essential. Three EA styles and five elements of G2G are elected and a combination method of scenario planning and interviews is chosen as the research method. Four steps are determined for the scenario planning(SP) process. And, in one of the steps in SP, we create 9 scenarios with three elements of social capital (Trust, Partnership and Norm). Then, by using interviews, we propose eight different combinations of the three styles of EA and five elements of G2G.
