“…The privileging of an empirical contribution is a practice which historians and historical journals have at times been weak at; MBH journals have relatively low impact factors in part because we do not cite ourselves enough. In the parallel and related applied field of sports history, Stone (2017) has criticised historians for lazily citing long published books as cannon instead of more recent revisionist historiography published in well-respected journals. While such books might constitute “standard” works we should remember that they were constructed by their authors, who made conscious and subconscious choices about which sources to draw upon and how to use the narrative and abstract out their conclusions.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to reflect back over his career as a management and business historian so far as to consider opportunities for the future of management and business history as a disciplinary area. Design/methodology/approach The paper consists of two segments – the first half is an auto-ethnographic personal reflection looking at the author’s research journey and how the discipline as experienced by the author has evolved over that time. The second half is a prescriptive look forward to consider how we should leverage the strengths as historians to progress the discipline forward. Findings The paper demonstrates opportunities for management and business history to encompass new agendas including the expansion of the topic into teaching, the possibility for the advancement of empirical contributions and opportunities for findings in new research areas, including the global south and public and project management history. Originality/value The paper demonstrates that historians should be more confident in the disciplinary capabilities, particularly their understandings of historic context, continuity, change and chronologies when making empirical and theoretical contributions.
