“…By integrating resources and industrial links for SMEs with relatively scarce resources and insufficient capital, the cluster can enhance collective efficiency and pool resources to give full play to the combined effect and enhance competitiveness. Venugopal et al [37] studied the determinants and variables of sustainable development of SME clusters based on past SME clusters and cluster strategies. The study illustrated that building trust, maintaining constructive dialogue among cluster members, and sharing common strategic goals are important factors for developing an efficient cluster and have a significant role in achieving inter-firm cooperation.…”

With the emphasis on cross-industry cooperation and the increasing complexity of the consumer market, an open and innovative business ecosystem has become a trend, and companies are no longer competing on their own, but rather between systems and systems. This study explores the development of SME cluster operations from a business ecosystem perspective. It summarizes the influencing dimensions and relevant factors of SME cluster ecosystem operation through literature research and expert interviews. We utilize the Fuzzy DEMATEL method and Interpretive Structural Model and classified by classification of matrix multiplication method. At the same time, this study figures out the factors’ correlation and characteristics and further develops their management implications to provide a reference for enterprises and subsequent research. The results reveal that robustness and niche creation with significant influence and low dependence are considered critical factors to influence other factors. Therefore, decision-makers should consider prioritizing control over factors in this category.

In our paper, we combine two issues, collaboration in cluster organizations and sustainability, aiming to answer the question: Does complex governance structure of cluster organizations support members in formulating and reaching sustainability objectives? Based on four case studies of cluster organizations and a still novel abductive approach, we present the ways in which sustainability was executed in their functioning. Our study shows that the role of cluster organizations in formulating and reaching sustainability objectives varied with regard to their collaboration life cycle. The “Formation” stage laid the foundations for collaboration and relational governance, the “Growth” stage aimed at improving the economic performance of cluster members, while the “Extension” stage impacted more cluster stakeholders with regard to the economic, social and environmental sustainability objectives. Nevertheless, stakeholders’ self-interest induced collaboration, whereas relational governance was its essential feature. Moreover, the potential of cluster organizations’ governance structures was not fully exploited in the context of sustainability, their structures have played a role in raising awareness, but it was more the competitive factors that drove companies to engage in an activity because they wanted to stay in the market, change the conditions and keep up with trends. Our research also provides practical implications for various cluster organizations’ stakeholders.
