Abstract: This paper empirically examines the relationships between knowledge development (KD) and strategic entrepreneurship (SE). Data from 242 manufacturing organisations in Pakistan were collected by a questionnaire survey. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was used to test the hypotheses. The current study reveals negative relationships between innovativeness and three dimensions of KD including knowledge acquisition, information distribution, and achieved memory. It also shows a strong positive relationship between different dimensions of KD and proactiveness. The contextual settings of developing countries reduce the level of SE in manufacturing organisations, particularly in terms of the lack of innovativeness.
