Driven by the requirement of environment-adaptable business, Service-oriented Architecture (SOA) emerges with promising goals such as agility, flexibility, reusability and efficiency. Before reaching the goals, however, numerous and various challenges are still obstructing the success of SOA implementation. To efficiently deal with existing challenges, we can use an interdisciplinary approach to explore technology independent strategies as valuable and necessary supplements to technical concerns when implementing SOA. Through presenting an organizational view to comprehend SOA and treating SOA implementations as organizational activities, this paper employs useful knowledge in the organization theory area to inspire the research into technology independent strategies of SOA implementation. As a result, four preliminary strategies that can be applied to human organizations are identified to support building SOA systems. Furthermore, the interdisciplinary approach to investigating the success of SOA implementation is revealed, which encourages interdisciplinary research across service-oriented computing and organization theory. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2013.
