Problem Statement

It is impossible to come out with a framework

that can help EMS in Malaysia to ensure higher

level of success rate in project management

without knowing what are the factors that

contribute to the success of the project. Withoutthis framework, EMS has to leave their success in

project management to random factors which

they cannot manage and increase the risk of theirinvestment in any project undertakings.

Recommendations*Cluster sampling method is recommended to replace snowball

sampling used in this study. This is to get a more evenly

distributed and better representation of respondents according tothe variables in demographic factors such as age groups,

departments, managerial expertise and education level.

*The scope of the study can be expanded by focusing not only on

the contribution of knowledge areas within the electronic

manufacturing industry but other industries through comparison-

oriented approach. By including the aspect of project management

in other industries, the contribution of the key knowledge areasand process groups can be assessed in a wider scope and its

potential in achieving project management success can be

optimised.
