Abstract
This research aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the benefits and challenges associated with the adoption of modern project management techniques in machinery expansion projects. The primary objective is to assess the impact of these techniques on project success by examining critical success criteria and understanding the role of modern project management within BGI Ethiopia. To achieve this goal, the study focuses on gathering opinions, expectations, and perceptions regarding the potential benefits of modern project management techniques of a selected case company—BGI Ethiopia. It explores factors such as perceived value, knowledge and awareness, interest and readiness, training and resources, organizational alignment, and potential barriers. By collecting data on these aspects, the study aims to provide insights into the challenges and potential advantages of adopting modern project management techniques in machinery expansion projects. This research adopts a mixed-method approach, incorporating both qualitative and quantitative analysis. This comprehensive approach allows for a more thorough understanding of the benefits and challenges of adopting modern project management techniques. By gathering numerical data and subjective insights from project managers, team members, and other stakeholders involved in machinery expansion projects at BGI Ethiopia, the study aims to provide a holistic view of the impact and potential advantages of modern project management techniques in the organization. The data collection process involved a sample of 28 participants who completed a structured quantitative questionnaire out of 31 participants which represents the entire target population that meets the purposive selection criteria for the study. Additionally, five participants were selected for qualitative key informant interviews to obtain subjective insights and in-depth perspectives on the challenges and benefits of adopting modern project management techniques. This study further aims to support BGI Ethiopia in achieving its project goals and maximizing the benefits of modern project management methodologies. It provides valuable insights for practitioners and researchers, advancing the understanding of the impact and potential advantages of adopting modern project management techniques in machinery expansion projects
