Executive summary
The Bank1 is one of the banks in Australia having its activities across the world. Their process of
EA has been initiated from the architect’s sides against various modifications towards the strategic
direction. In the following report, the concerns regarding interpersonal issues regarding
implementation of the enterprise architecture are demonstrated. Then, the study demonstrated two IS
Research paradigms and from there one is preferred. This preferred approach is the positivist idea
that is through to be suitable for the current case. This is to investigate the challenges related to the
interpersonal interactions that are found to be occurring between the stakeholders and architects.

Introduction:
The Bank1 is a huge Australian bank operating throughout the world. Their EA processes
have been initiated from the side of architects against the changes in the strategic direction. The
architects in the Bank1 can be differentiated structurally from the business and is located in the
function of technology. The study intends to find interpersonal issues related to the implementation
of enterprise architecture. In the following report, the problem statement and the aim of the research
are demonstrated. Next two contrasting IS Research paradigms are chosen here. From that preferred
is selected to evaluate the concerns related to interpersonal interactions. These have been taking
place between the architects and the stakeholders.
Defining the problem statement and explaining the research aim:
Problem statement and research motivation:
It is seen that at Bank1, despite the high investments and interests in enterprise architectures,
there are various instances of failure of EA deployments. It is seen that EA has been taken into
consideration as the effective one-time project and here most of the effort is under the stage of
development. Moreover, it is an unpleasant act that Bank1 has assumed that EA has been adding
business automatically and the technical value. The effort is seen as a one-time activity. The EA is
just the precondition of developing the value of architecture. This has never been seen as the
guarantee or commitment of the reward that must be of the long term.
Research aim:
The aim of the research is to develop knowledge about various interpersonal challenges
under the area of EA implementation. This knowledge is vital to help Bank1 succeed with the EAI.
Through utilizing the models, the research aims to determine the probable obstacles and
