This study believes that the role of cluster consultants should be added, so this study explores the impact of micro-enterprise clustering on the relationship between the three roles.

The study found that cluster leaders mainly influence members in terms of attitudes, and consultants influence members in terms of ability. The attitude of members (behavior factors) of the cluster to invest in cluster activities is an important key to the development of clusters. This study presents the success factors of cluster, the importance of the consultant, the study found that the key factor affecting the performance of clustering is the sense of belonging and cognition of clustering, and finally, the management implications, recommendations and future research recommendations.
