The chapter explores whether and to what extent a systemic approach to optimal management of working capital stemming from database wisdom exists in medium enterprises in Serbia as a transition economy. The chapter portrays the level of optimization of all key components of working capital management and addresses indispensable strategic directions for Serbian entrepreneurs and managers that could have broader application in transition context. Ultimately, the chapter explores how to achieve better and more effective results in the development of medium enterprises by optimizing database wisdom for working capital management. As a research paper, the chapter reviews the experiences from Serbia and compares them with achievements in other transition and more advanced economies. In a case study undertaken in Serbia with semi-structured interviews in medium-sized enterprises, the author examines the specific preconditions for increasing the current perceived inefficient use of working capital and extend for discussion an optimization model based on tested hypotheses.

Working capital has seen as the basic factor that affect firm’s ability to continue their day-to-day business operations with financial stability. This case study mainly focuses on examining the reasons for working capital management issues faced by the Campus and the relationship between working capital and firm’s financial performance. This study is mainly focusing on working capital problems faced by a private Campus that operates in Sri Lankan educational sector. Required qualitative data gathered through semi-structured face to face interviews with financial experts and the quantitative data gathered using annual financial statements for last six years. Panel data regression was performed to identify the relationship between working capital management and financial performance. Qualitative data was analyzed using content and thematic analysis. Based on the regression results, average collection period, average payment period and cash conversion cycle have significant relationship over return on assets and net profit margin of the Campus. Five major themes were recognized in the thematic analysis which contained distinct subthemes. As the existing research articles lack the working capital management issues faced by the organizations in private education industry, this can be considered as an opportunity to perform an empirical study on working capital management issues faced by a private campus.
