One of the goals of this paper is to study the competitive advantage of SMEs in Isfahan Province using the performance of its determinants in 1375 and 1384. In this way, we use the mixed indicators through the concept of local coefficient. The ranking is based on productivity indicators, value added, employment, dependence on domestic raw material, product output, and investment intensity using the entropy and TOPSIS. The study shows that the improved or unimproved performance of competitive advantage determinants is a flexible process which indicates the relative instability in the position of many SMEs within the last decade affected by different factors. Among these factors there are the access of SMEs to domestic raw material and financing the investments.
