“…While, Chand (2011) mentions in his book review of Leo Paul Dana's book Entrepreneurship and Religion , that Zoroastrian/Parsi enterprises, had foundations in the interaction among religious and spiritual values and entrepreneurial behaviour (including philanthropy and social entrepreneurship). Moreover, some scholars like Jany (2004) investigate Zoroastrian law and its relation with entrepreneurial activities.…”

The purpose of this research is to investigate awareness, intentions/support, and the contextual elements among higher education students in the University of Tehran (UT) in order to find the gap(s) in social entrepreneurship education in Iran. The authors used Ajzen's theory of planned behaviour as the theoretical framework. The research questions are based on a revised version of Kirby and Ibrahim's (2011) questionnaire. A survey was conducted in three faculties of UT. These faculties were selected intentionally, to evaluate the social entrepreneurship gaps for postgraduates of entrepreneurship, management, and engineering, and to capture varied orientations. Findings show a significant rate of intention towards and awareness of the concept among respondents, but a lack of sufficient attention to contextual elements and adequate support. Investigating social entrepreneurship intention and education is lacking in Iran's higher education and this study is one of the first in the country.

“…The key role was the sālār or guardian, a position, which paralleled the trustee. This person was designated to manage the settlement and pass on the position to his kin while he acted “in harmony” with the intentions of the settlor, if not, the position was transferred back to the family of the settlor (Jany, 2004: 275).…”

Trade brought the Parsis to Hong Kong and a small group remained and settled after the British took over the island in 1841. Profits from the China trade made millionaires of several of Bombay’s ‘illustrious’ philanthropists and helped to build some of this city’s founding infrastructure. The ties between the two colonial ports were never severed, and recent years have seen a resurgence of funds transferred from Parsi charitable trusts in Hong Kong back to Mumbai and other settlements in India. Unlike the profits from individuals, these funds are funneled through charitable trusts. This article will articulate a transregional Indian Ocean world that is formed not only through the movement of people and goods, but by community giving and city building, through the temporal giving of the trust. It will show how this historical and contemporary giving has become an idiom of transnational placemaking between these two port cities.
