The objectives of this research were to explicate the influence mechanism between MSMEs and MSMEs&rsquo; clusters; to explicate the generation mechanism of cluster residual value, and to determine whether there is a significant effect of structural hole on allocating the residual value of MSMEs&rsquo; cluster. The research was designed as quantitative research and used survey questionnaires to collect data from 475 entrepreneurs or senior managers of MSMEs. After passing the validity (KMO) and reliability (Cronbach&rsquo;s Alpha) tests, the correlations between independent and dependent variables have been examined by Pearson Correlation. Then One-Way ANOVA was employed for further specifying the causal direction of correlation between variables. The findings of this research showed that there are positive correlations between cluster&rsquo;s value and growth of MSMEs; between structural hole and allocation of cluster&rsquo;s residual value; between structural hole and growth of cluster. In addition, structural hole as a moderating variable effect on the relationship between cluster&rsquo;s value and growth of MSMEs significantly.
