scholarly journals About New Approaches to Management of Finance Enterprises

Every enterprise in modern society has generation of profit as its goal, and its performance can be determined by how effectively and efficiently its current assets are used. The purpose of this study is to identify and systematize modern approaches to financial management of enterprises. The relevance of this work is conditioned by the fact that in the conditions of market relations the approaches to working capital management of an enterprise have changed significantly. The methodological basis of the study is the achievements of economic theory, theory of finance, financial management, financial policy, and economic analysis, accounting and reporting. This research is based on such a methodology as scientific cognition, and also systemic and dialectical approaches. The problem on financial management of enterprises is always associated with a number of conditions or factors that affect the operation of a company. In this regard, the authors consider the research in the field of approaches to managing current assets in modern conditions, which is the most relevant in the current period. At the present stage, in order to ensure the long-term productive and effective financial activity of a company, a company’s working capital management policy is necessary, which would consist in determining the volume and structure of the current assets of the organization, as well as the sources of their coverage and the relationship between them. In this study, the general trends are defined in that the management of enterprise’s finances is reduced to the implementation of general management functions. This expresses a functional approach to the management of a company and implies the continuity and cyclicity of managerial work. Practical results of the work define that an enterprise cannot achieve the maximum effect by managing only accounts receivable, stocks or cash. Only after a comprehensive analysis reviewing each of the components of working capital in the enterprise, the best results of management could be achieved, because they are all interconnected. In this study, we examined the main approaches to the management of working capital of an enterprise; that has revealed that in market conditions an approach is needed on the application of two types of working capital management. This allows financial managers of modern enterprises to implement more informed management decisions (Forfaiting, Just-in-Time Approach, Re-Order Level System), i.e. the choice of one type is not always the right solution in working capital management at an enterprise.

Abstract The idea that working capital management impacts profitability and risk of a company is generally accepted and in last 10-15 years has acquired a substantial interest. Accordingly, from the aspect of the measure of efficiency of working capital management, the objective of this paper is to evaluate working capital management impact on profitability of Croatian software companies. This impact was examined using descriptive and correlation as well as panel regression analysis for six-year period (2008-2013). The results show that after controlling for characteristics of the company and macroeconomic conditions working capital management significantly affects the profitability of Croatian software firms. Moreover, the results imply the existence of a nonlinear, concave quadratic relationship between the net working capital and return on assets. This suggest the existence of an optimal level of net working capital that balances costs and benefits and maximizes profitability of analysed companies.

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of merger on the efficiency of working capital management of American production firms. This study applied a co-relational research design. A sample of 497 listed American production firms for a period of 4 years (from 2010-2014) was analyzed. The findings of this study indicate that mergers may contribute to an improvement of the efficiency of working capital management. This is a co-relational study that investigated the association between merger and working capital management efficiency. There is not necessarily a causal relationship between the two, although the paper provides some conjectures to such relationship. The findings of this study may only be generalized to firms similar to those that were included in this research. This study contributes to the literature on the factors that improve the efficiency of working capital management, and in particular on the association between merger and the efficiency of working capital management. The findings may be useful for financial managers, investors, financial management consultants, and other stakeholders.

<p class="R-AbstractKeywords">In order to ensure the financial sustainability of companies under current economic conditions successful management of current assets is crucial. In practice it is quite often observed that the decisions related to current assets management in Latvian companies are made in the short-term aspects without making analysis. Efficient management of working capital is an essential condition of rise in profitability of a company.  Potentialities of working capital management in the context of efficient running of business have not been studied in Latvia up until now. The main aim of this article is to examine the effect of working capital on profitability of Latvian companies. The results of the research that has been performed in relation to Latvian enterprises confirm the existence of a correlation between components of working capital and profitability. The developed regression equations meant for forecasting profitability of a company applying working capital management methods can be used by Latvian enterprises. It follows that managers of an enterprise can forecast indexes characterizing profit, managing components of working capital and maintaining it on the optimum level</p>
