While the importance of entry has been recognized in many studies, attention has focused almost on quantifying barriers to them, rather than investigating the determinants of entry and measuring the magnitude of this process. This notion has got less attention in Iran as a developing country. Present paper is concerned with deliberating a complete picture of the determinants of firms start-up in Iranian manufacturing industries at 4-digit industry level during the period of 2002-2006. Using the structure-conduct-performance paradigm, results of this study shows industry’s barriers to entry such as capital intensity, MES and concentration affect the ability of potential entrants in negative direction. Also, industry size, price cost margin and industry growth turn out to induce entry. In addition, entrepreneurs prefer to enter in industries where advertising expenditure, business risk and small firm presence is low and skilled labor is high.
