Institutional distances are mostly neglected while importing development means and tools into developing countries. This could be also observed in establishing Technology parks & Incubators in these countries. To fill the gap, Schumpeterian type I & II innovations has been used to differentiate clients of S & T Parks from Incubators. Also a Typology of four different institutional setting, namely Anglo-Saxon, Scandinavian, Deutsch & frenched has been proposed by means of which it is possible to bench and select among different funding & operating policies. Based on these classifications, It has been concluded that on the contrary with the current trend of establishing incubators in Iran, focus on Science & Technology Parks could be a more promising option. Difficulties in changing focus from Incubators to Parks is also discussed.

Cognitive studies of entrepreneurs are in order to find a knowledge-base explanation about concepts which are important for entrepreneurship phenomenon. Seeking opportunity, creativity and innovation and risk taking are the most important concepts for entrepreneurs. To distinguish entrepreneur from non entrepreneur people and curriculum and pedagogy development, it is necessary to study their attitudes, mentalities and mind sets.

Entrepreneurship could be considered as an opportunity based management of resources and opportunity recognition is the main differentiating skill of entrepreneurs from the rest of population. Unfortunately no measurement tool for this skill has been developed. In this paper a new tool based on Murphy decomposition of skill and lens model of Egon Brunswik is introduced. An example is provided for further clarification and areas in which the tool could be developed and used are discussed.
