Abstract

This qualitative study explores the utilization of community resources for small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) development. Grounded in grounded theory and thematic analysis, the research aims to uncover insights into the complexities surrounding this phenomenon. Scholarly literature serves as the primary data source, and a systematic search strategy is employed to identify relevant articles. Data analysis involves open, axial, and selective coding techniques to identify emergent themes and patterns. Ethical considerations are paramount throughout the research process. The findings reveal that social capital plays a crucial role in SME development by fostering innovation, collaboration, and access to critical resources. Moreover, management strategies such as microfinance initiatives, entrepreneurial ecosystems, and social entrepreneurship offer promising avenues for leveraging community resources. However, challenges such as limited access to financial capital, inadequate infrastructure, and regulatory constraints hinder SME growth and sustainability. Collaborative partnerships and capacity-building initiatives emerge as potential solutions to overcome these barriers. The implications for future research and practice highlight the need for further empirical studies to explore the effectiveness of different management strategies and the impact of emerging trends on SME development. Policymakers and practitioners should collaborate to design targeted interventions aimed at enhancing SME access to community resources and fostering an enabling environment for entrepreneurial activity.

Abstract

This study investigates the synergistic impact of bridging finance and community support mechanisms on Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) empowerment and inclusive prosperity. Through a comprehensive literature review, the study aims to elucidate the multifaceted nature of bridging finance and community-based initiatives, highlighting their significance in fostering SME growth and resilience. The research employs a qualitative approach, drawing insights from existing theoretical frameworks and empirical studies to analyze the interplay between financial and non-financial factors in driving SME empowerment.

Additionally, community support mechanisms, such as mentoring, networking, and capacity-building programs, contribute to SME empowerment by facilitating knowledge exchange, collaboration, and resource-sharing within local communities. The integration of bridging finance and community support offers a holistic approach to SME development, enabling stakeholders to create an enabling environment that supports SME growth, innovation, and socio-economic inclusion. The study underscores the importance of continued research and collaboration in advancing our understanding of the mechanisms driving inclusive prosperity and informing evidence-based policy and practice interventions aimed at promoting SME development and sustainable economic growth.
