The purpose of this paper is to analyze the successful accomplishments of new component development projects and to evaluate the success levels of the projects at each stage of the development process in Korean electronics industry. This work begins with the basic assumption that success of the component development projects depends on the mutual interaction between the effect factors and development processes. In this research, electronic component development projects were selected as the case examples to categorize projects based on their technical and market properties. Success factors at various stages of the development process were investigated by analyzing the 'cause and effect' relationship, the key influence factors, and key development processes. Major findings from this study are as follows: New projects on component development can be successful when they are activated by the interaction of the eight key effect factors and the five stages of the development process, and the research findings can be applied to constructing a causality model that explicates how these success factors affect the successful completion at each stage of the development process. The implication of this research is that we developed a new methodology for causality analysis in inter-areas and inter-factors, and this enables us to
