Abstract: This editorial paper reflects on the research published in the International Journal of Business Science and Applied Management to celebrate its 20th anniversary and a new phase for the journal. We discuss the theoretical, methodological, and thematic approaches that depict the journal's contributions. Through this analysis, we identify six key research streams that have been most prominent in the journal's discourse: organisational behaviour and leadership, information systems management and adoption, customer service satisfaction, consumer behaviour, strategy, and supply chain and operations. As we reflect on these research themes, we emphasise how they will need to evolve in order to strengthen the impact of future research. In addition, we highlight the importance of ongoing transformations in the broader business environment, technological, economic, socio-cultural, and ecological shifts, and their relevance for setting the agenda for future submissions.
