Corporate entrepreneurship channels the efforts of an organization to create a series of sustainable competitive advantages as the basis for growth and profitability. Corporate entrepreneurship seeks the basic goals of identifying and following opportunities to create new ventures and strategic renovation (recreation).

This is an applied research based on correlative-descriptive method. First, a number of questionnaires were given to the managers of different levels, officials and board members of that Research Center. Out of which 110 questionnaires were gathered. After collection of the data, the multiple line regression method in SPSS was used for analisis. The results showed that managerial support, flexible boundaries of the organization, availability and appropriate compensation for the staff and reinforcement of the staff all affect the innovation positively but job autonomy does not affect the innovation in that Research Center. Finally it was concluded that, in general, the organizational entrepreneurial climate has a significant relationship with innovation in the Islamic Culture and Thought Research Center.
