Abstract: One problem often encountered by management in the shipping industry companies in Indonesia are financial problems, because it collided with the availability of working capital which the company cannot be operated because the funds will be used for the purchase of raw materials and to give employees salary.This research analyzes the influence of financial condition consisting of working capital, asset structure, operating leverage, and sales growth on the firm profitability as well as on its non financial performance of ship building companies in Indonesia. By employing the multiple regression, the result of the estimation showed that among those variables underlined, working capital, asset structure, and sales growth proved to be significantly affecting the firm profitability and its nonfinancial performance, meanwhile the operating leverage has been proved non-significant. This research concludes that the management should pay more attention on working capital and the asset structure being the predominant variable, besides its asset structure and the sales growth, affecting the ship building companies performance in Indonesia. Shipping companies can grow and expand. To be able to increase profitability by increasing the shipping company's own capital and reducing a portion of the shipping company, the more active equity and profitability will also be good. On the other hand if it continues to rely on capital from outside, it will cause emergence of interest expense to be borne by the shipping company. Keyword: Working Capital, Asset Structure, Operating Leverage, Sales Growth, Profitability, Non-Financial Performance.

This study aims to determine the effect of sales growth, capital expenditure and working capital efficiency on financial performance which is moderated by the capital structure. The population in this study was all consumer goods industry firms listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2014-2017. Sampling in this study was based on purposive sampling and obtained as many as 35 firms. The analytical method used was Partial Least Square (PLS) analysis. The results showed that sales growth and capital expenditure do not significantly affect capital structure; working capital and capital structure has a positive and significant effect on financial performance. Meanwhile, as a moderating variable, capital structure is not able to moderate the influence of sales growth on financial performance. Capital structure weakens the effect of capital expenditure and efficiency working capital on financial performance.

This chapter examines the ideological and economic dimensions of the Zionist concept “conquest of the sea” that emerged in the 1920s and 1930s by focusing on the role played by Arnold Bernstein in the emergence of an example of a Jewish shipping industry during the interwar period. In 1895, Theodor Herzl characterized the future Jewish state as the end product of an organized mass migration and endorsed the notion of “conquest of the sea” as a necessary component of this process. The chapter first provides a background on the Palestine Shipping Company founded by Bernstein before discussing the spatial factors that influenced the emergence of a Jewish shipping industry. It suggests that the construction of a Jewish maritime “space” was guided by ideological clashes, economic and political interests, and personal networks.

AbstractThe technology to liquefy natural gas for transport to countries worldwide and the increasing use of natural gas as a cleaner fossil fuel for industry and household meant that the supply of liquified natural gas (LNG) worldwide is a profitable trend. Shipping companies can strategically choose to diversify into LNG fleet to grasp this trend. By supplying more LNG shipping capacities, the greater availability of LNG worldwide, as a source of marine fuel and as a source of cleaner energy in replacing coal and oil, is supporting eco-innovation. In this paper, we investigate three economic and financial benefits to a shipping firm that diversified into liquefied natural gas (LNG) shipping, namely firm profitability performance, firm efficiency, and stock return performance. We also investigate if there is an early mover advantage in doing so. Our empirical findings indicate that fleet diversification into LNG carriers resulted in higher profitability and better operational efficiency. For the listed shipping firms, their stock returns increased with diversified exposures to the LNG business. There is some evidence of higher profitability in the early mover advantage. Firms that originated in LNG business also benefited when there was diversification into the non-LNG business.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between working capital and firm profitability for a sample of 719 Polish listed firms over the period of 2007–2016. The scarcity of empirical evidence for emerging economies and the importance of working capital efficiency motivate the research on the working capital–financial performance relationship. The paper adopts a quantitative approach using different panel data techniques (ordinary least squares, fixed effects, and panel-corrected standard errors models). The empirical results report an inverted U-shape relationship between working capital level and firm profitability, meaning that working capital has a positive effect on the profitability of Polish firms to a break-even point (optimum level). After the break-even point, working capital starts to negatively affect firm profitability. The study brings theoretical and practical contributions. It extends and complements the literature on the field by highlighting new evidence on the non-linear interrelation between working capital management (WCM) and corporate performance in Poland. From the practitioners’ perspective, the results highlight the importance of WCM for firm profitability.
