Abstract

Contemporary business conditions necessitate rapid adaptation by enterprises to changing market positions and operational environments. One solution to this challenge is adopting a corporate approach to business activities, which requires proper organization. This article aims to theoretically substantiate the concept of corporate architecture and develop methodological recommendations for organiz-ing its management and development. The hypothesis of this research suggests that corporate architecture represents a higher-level architecture, integrating various other types of architecture, and is further expanded by considering parameters for the distribution of corporate control and delineating the scope of architectural oversight. The methodological foundation of this study is based on the construction of bibliometric networks and the use of the ArchiMate architectural modeling language. Through their application, a model for managing the development of corporate architecture is presented, along with identifying its unique characteristics and the stages of organizing such management. Management of corporate architec-ture is presented as the determination of a set of architectural elements and estab-lished architectural decisions that are appropriate to the given conditions of a business entity's operations. The proposed contours of architectural oversight ensure that such choices align with the aspirations and interests of stakeholders based on the implementation of architectural work practices. The regulation of these practices is portrayed as a critical element in organizing architectural oversight, which facilitates the management of the development of corporate architecture. The development of architecture is considered through the revision of accepted architectural de-cisions, substituting selected methods and practices with more effective ones, transforming organizational values, reviewing its corporate identity, and so forth. The role and practices of the corporate architect have been identified. The elements of architectural documentation for a business entity have been enumerated and their interconnections defined. An example of integrating such documentation into the frameworks of corporate architecture management is provided.
