Interesting comment Juan... Based on advising hundreds of Fortune500/Global2000 organizations, I disagree. Strategies fail when the culture does not embrace the objectives. To succeed, IT strategic plans must move forward five distinct top-level workstreams; business models, infrastructure, process, governance, organization. Without a cultural alignment of purpose and objectives, top-down strategies fail. I have seen many SOA strategies fail due to cultural impediments; lack of trust, misaligned funding models, team boundaries, and missing service provider mindset. You can read more about cultural impediments to top-down and bottoms-up adoption in a recent blog post, http://blog.cobia.net/cobiacomm/2014/01/27/defining-a-service-oriented-architecture-soa-mindset-big-soa-or-small-soa/ and in a published paper focused on SOA & API strategy and tactics at http://wso2.com/whitepapers/wso2-whitepaper-soa-and-api-convergence-strategy-and-tactics/
The pieces describe how culture trumps strategy, and how the API movement attempts to fix cultural impediments that created a backlash against SOA strategies.
