Introduction Microeconomic developments are the foundation for economic growth in Indonesia. This show is small and medium industries have good prospects to be developed and have competitiveness and competitive advantage well and contribute to employment safety. One form of microeconomics that can combine large amounts of labor with small capital is small and medium micro enterprises. In addition, MSMEs are also in great demand and become a very dominant trend for research by researchers, governments and international organizations [1], [2]. Some studios conducted by researchers show that the development of MSMEs can be carried out if the government receives full support for the products [3], [4], [5], [6]. Facing economic competition for global sustainability of MSMEs must also be supported by appropriate business strategies in order to compete with similar businesses [7]. One of the strategies applied is sharing knowledge between fellow employees or with company leaders related to quality and production results. Therefore knowledge sharing needs to be managed well by management [8], [9]. With the presence of knowledge sharing, new knowledge will be created not only for fellow employees as well as for companies [10], [11], [12]. This must definitely be resolved with high commitment from both management and employees. With the existence of high organizational commitment, the company can continue to run and have competitiveness between business organizations [13].
