Abstract: Small and medium-sized enterprises represent an engine of growth for the world's economies, as they create wealth for nations and fight unemployment by employing a large number of people. A growth of this type of enterprises remains an indispensable goal for the public power and the entrepreneurs. Therefore, this article analyzes the evolution of SMEs in relation to large companies operating in the framework of a cluster and more precisely their growth. The study will take as a case study the Moroccan Aerospace Industries Cluster by considering two variables in the analysis, namely the turnover and the number of employees over a period of 5 years (2015-2019) and with a sample of 128 companies. The results show that SMEs are growing faster than large companies within the cluster through the increase of their turnover and the number of employees. In addition, some firms even experienced a change......
