However, a significant gap remains in identifying the belief structure expressed in public digital discourse regarding adopting eco-friendly travel in extreme contexts (e.g. cost-of-living crises) using naturally-occurring data. We address this gap using a big-data methodology to scrape and clean 17,379 comments from Reddit and YouTube users posted between 2022 and 2024 (i.e. amid the current cost-of-living crisis) regarding eco-friendly travel. The final cleaned corpus comprised 10,603 comments. Cleaned data were assessed using thematic, sentiment and emotion analyses. Guided by an integrated analytical lens drawing on the Planned Behaviour, Value-Belief-Norm, and Socio-Technical Systems theories, our results suggest a five-theme belief structure: Transport, Community Impact, and Accessibility; Personal Perspectives and Everyday Experiences; Travel Choices and Infrastructure Development; Environmental Sustainability and Climate Action; and Societal Policies and Public Concerns. Sentiment analysis indicates 80% negativity and 18% positivity, with uncertainty as the most common emotion (37%). Systemic barriers, financial stresses, and inequitable policies fuelled widespread frustration, yet personal agency and adaptive strategies offered some optimism. Semi-structured interviews with nine experts helped contextualise the findings and refine their practical implications.

Drawing on intersectional and decolonial feminist scholarship, it explores strategic paths and challenges to envisioning a world beyond colonial frameworks. Domestic violence (DV) is highlighted as a symptom of coloniality and a largely invisible agenda in organizational studies. Addressing this requires mobilizing ontologies, epistemologies, and methodologies that confront the coloniality of power, knowledge, and being. Recognizing organizations as non-neutral entities, the article emphasizes their dual role in perpetuating problems and fostering solutions. By adopting approaches rooted in social justice, it calls for active agendas that challenge dominant paradigms, aiming to reimagine social relations and foster collective responsibility. This framework envisions new possibilities for existence, centering marginalized voices and promoting transformative change within organizational and societal contexts.

We identify four specific limitations in that direction. We propose a novel framework that addresses the identified limitations and provides a mechanism for creating lasting social impact. Our central thesis is that a majority of the students may be ill-prepared to lead ventures upon their graduation. Thus, we propose that academic institutions should focus on nurturing both entrepreneurial and intrapreneurial mindsets, thereby fostering the creation of social ventures and impact-driven organisations, respectively.
