No full assessment of the companies’ activitiesis conceivable without a financial analysis of their activities to identify the risks of investment activities. Objective of the study. A detailed comparative analysis of the financial standing of domestic pharmaceutical manufacturers operating within the selected business models for further identification of potential financial risks for investors. Research procedure and article structure. Analysis of RAS statements (forms 1 and 2) of 72 over 500 million revenue companies grouped together as selected business models for the period from 2015 to 2019. Results.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the increasing demand for corporate liquidity and examines the various factors influencing the cash position of firms in India. The financial policy to hold cash gained impetus after the financial crisis when the companies faced a severe cash crunch. However, the firms operating in emerging nations have an imperfect market mechanism with stringent regulatory norms. Thus, this paper attempts to examine the determinants of corporate cash holdings in an emerging country like India.Design/methodology/approachThe paper focuses on the impact of various factors (leverage, firm size, profitability, growth along with other variables), on the cash structure of all the manufacturing companies listed on the Bombay stock exchange. The study employs panel data methodologies over a sample of 323 firms over a period of eight years from 2010 to 2017.FindingsSignificant estimators affecting cash holdings of a firm are the size of a firm, debt levels, tangibility, sales growth and research and development expense. Overall, the study finds evidence on the existence of Pecking Order theory in explaining the determinants of cash holdings in the Indian market.Research limitations/implicationsThe study attempts to explore the critical determinants of cash in the Indian context which can be useful for managers and academicians to understand how the key theories of cash holdings operate in an emerging economy like India.Originality/valueIndia is an emerging economy and has recently gained global attention and has become a hotspot for foreign investments. Thus, this paper explores pieces of evidence on the critical factors affecting cash holdings in India. The study would provide an understanding of the existing cash policy in the Indian context and attempts to find the changes in the financing structure adopted by the manufacturing industry in the given period.

Market size in many ways determines the national competitiveness of an economy. If there is a large national market, it is a source of demand for manufacturing companies. There are cases where the national economy has a large market and a weak industry, e.g. Russia, while on the other hand, Switzerland, which has a small market size, compensates that with productivity and exports to other markets. Market size and foreign trade complement each other in influencing the sustainability of national competitiveness. If there is a large market and insufficient industry to meet the demand in that market, it is necessary to import the products and satisfy the needs of the domestic market. However, the small national market and the production of a large quantity of products that it cannot absorb requires export to other markets. The paper presents a comparative analysis of the competitiveness of Serbia and countries in the region, and their indices of market sizes, which include, but are not limited to, foreign market percentages and exports. Certainly, both determinants significantly affect national competitiveness and its sustainability.

The objective of this research is to test the impact of leverage on corporate cash holdings for sample of manufacturing companies enlisted on the Indonesian Stock Exchange over the period 2006-2007. Population of this research is all of manufacturing companies on the Indonesian Stock Exchange. The sampling method is purposive. The study hypothesis was tested using multiple regressions. The results show that leverage has a negative influence on corporate cash holdings. Indonesian manufacturing firms with high leverage can hold cash in small amounts because debt is a substitute for corporate cash holdings.
