The subject of the dissertation is exploring the use of enterprise architecture as a managerial method to support the transformation (reform) of Czech public administration. The dissertation shows that enterprise architecture is in the public sector of Czech Republic still not used, even though public sector organizations want to continue improving its services and management in a way where enterprise architecture could be beneficial. The thesis aims to understand the needs of public authorities towards the possibilities and benefits of enterprise architecture and propose such a customization that could increase the adoption and use of enterprise architecture by these organizations. The main objective of thesis is to summarize individual partial results of author's research into the design of overall Concept of the structure and procedure of implementation of National Public Administration Architecture of Czech Republic. Research within the dissertation combines two basic research methods. Both represent qualitative research methods, suitable for the development of new methods and artefacts (Design Science Research) and for proof the hypotheses and outputs (Case Studies). To create preconditions of the proposed concept was necessary to verify the status of the Czech public administration from the perspective of current rate, needs and interest for the use of enterprise architecture to support the reform of public administration. To verify the status of environment and the needs served basic research questions, further elaborated into detailed questions of multiple case study. In the analytical part of the thesis are summarized significant findings the analysis of information resources and literature in the areas of a) the definition of enterprise architecture, its position, role and development trends for design changes in the structure and metamodel of TOGAF framework, b) the existence of available models and key design principles of application architecture reference model and c) experience of the implementation and use of enterprise architecture for public administration reform. The main part of the thesis focuses on the proposals in three areas. In the first part are designed theoretical and practical changes in the definition, structure and metamodel of enterprise architecture to better support its application for real reform of public administration, not only to improve the management of IT. Presented proposals are in the same time providing solutions to some identified discrepancies in the trends of development of enterprise architecture. General proposals are in parallel applied as changes in the standard TOGAF, which is then recommended as the initial framework for the National Public Administration Architecture of the Czech Republic. In the second part of the proposals are presented principles and content of the reference model of application architecture. This is an example the accelerator necessary to solve the discrepancy between the scope of enterprise architecture and its feasibility with limited resources. The thesis emphasize the industry adjusted model for public administration and its application in a hierarchical, fractal environments typical of public administration. In the third part are presented key components of the overall concept, using as well as previous research results of this thesis. As the key elements are presented proposal for the structure of National Public Administration Architecture of the Czech Republic environment, proposal for the procedure of implementation of National Architecture and the proposal of products (outputs) for deploying National Architecture in Czech Republic. Additionally are formulated proposals of ways of using National Architecture in Czech public administration and conditions and prerequisites for introduction of National Architecture in the Czech public administration.
