Abstract :
This study examines the mechanism by which shared resources act on capabilities to impact inclusive growth of clustered SMEs. Results indicate that four different kinds of cluster specific shared resources have positive effects on capabilities and capabilities also have positive impacts on inclusive growth of clustered SMEs. The concept model developed in this study thus suggests that capabilities mediate the relationship between shared resources and inclusive growth of clustered SMEs.
