he new age is the age of competition for scarce resources and creative and talented employees. If organizations make the most of scarce resources and turn the new knowledge into new products and services in the light of educated people, they will be successful in this field. Having access to these innovations requires paying attention to strategic entrepreneurship. Strategic entrepreneurship in organizations promotes new products and services and processes, improves growth and profitability, increases financial efficiency, creates wealth, and most importantly, creates and maintains competitive benefits. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of strategic entrepreneurship on competitive advantage in knowledge-based companies in Bushehr. This research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-correlational in terms of data collection and the required data have been collected by distributing a questionnaire among 150 employees of knowledge-based companies active in Bushehr Science and Technology Park. To test the research hypotheses, structural equation modeling has been used based on the partial least squares regression. The results show that the main hypothesis of the research and the three hypotheses (the effects of entrepreneurial culture and leadership, the use of creativity, and innovation and entrepreneurial mentality) were confirmed and hypothesis of positive and significant effect of strategic resources on competitive advantage was rejected. If the strategic entrepreneurship is followed up correctly, and culture improvement, entrepreneurial leadership, innovation and creativity and entrepreneurial mentality are persuaded by the organizations and companies’ leaders, they can overtake their competitors. Therefore, pursuing the innovative and beneficial ideas with the aim of creating permanent competitive advantage is suggested in a long-term perspective.
