Abstract

The objective of this study is to examine success factors of defence equipment projects in the Finnish Defence Forces. The outline of established success factors for projects and performance measurement is based on the literature review. The strength of this study is that it incorporates a longitudinal design of success factor changes from 2006 to 2018. The main research question is ‘How challenges and opportunities of Finnish defence equipment projects have changed from 2006 to 2018?’ The results of the empirical data offer a unique opportunity to explore changes over a decade in the Finnish defence equipment projects. The challenges and opportunities of defence equipment projects are determined by theory, swot analysis and the findings of the research process. In conclusion, the critical success factors have remained unchanged, despite the environmental and organizational changes in the Finnish Defence Forces.
