Working capital management is an extremely essential issue for the healthy conduct of the sustainability of a business. The active and day-to-day nature of the short term business emporium, the ongoing necessity to substitute current assets and in the meantime to liquidate current liabilities clearly demonstrates the significance of working capital management and therefore the essential duty the financial executives carry.

The direct effect of working capital management on profitability and liquidity of firms clearly demonstrates the significance working capital management has in a firm and consequently the objective of this chapter is to find whether or not working capital management, i.e. cash conversion cycle has an effect on profitability for the publicly listed companies in Turkey using panel regression analysis.

Synthetic Evaluation

The research presents the application of fuzzy logic for synthetic evaluation of strategies for working capital management of twelve food companies from Northern Europe in 2005–2015. A set of financial ratios formed an aggregated indicator reflecting the complexity of relationships between the level and structure of current assets and liabilities of a firm. Based on the proposed indicator, four types of strategies for working capital management were identified and characterized in terms of risk and return preferences. Only a few companies from the sample demonstrated a direct orientation on liquidity or value within their strategies for working capital management. To retain flexibility in short-term financial management, most firms applied moderate policies for current assets and liabilities that helped them in maintaining liquidity and reducing the cost of financing. The integrity of the proposed method for the synthetic evaluation of working capital management makes it a convenient managerial tool suitable for use in firms operating in a turbulent business environment.
