Several studies in literature presented that technology intensity firms, which are also assumed as R&D intensive ones, are holding more liquid assets, especially cash, compared to other firms. This study investigates possible differences, which are born by tendency of holding more liquid assets in technology intensive firms, in working capital management policies in emerging markets. 437 firms from 15 emerging countries have been analyzed by the use of Kuruskal Wallis and Mann Whitney U tests. The results revealed that technology intensive firms have been following different and more aggressive working capital management policies compared to less technology intensive ones.

Working capital is essential for the day-to-day operations of a firm. The study examines the impact of working capital management on the profitability of non-financial firms listed on the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange (ZSE). Using panel data methodology, the direction and extent of the impact of working capital management on profitability is scrutinised. The regression analysis is based on a panel sample of 39 non-financial firms listed on the ZSE from 2009 to 2013, the period under which the Zimbabwean economy has been operating under the multicurrency system. It was found that there is a positive relationship between debtors’ days and firm’s profitability, a negative relationship between creditors’ days and profitability and a positive relationship between firm’s cash conversion cycle and its profitability. There is some negative relationship between current ratio and profitability, while inventory turnover days and profitability are positively related. Debt to asset ratio as a control variable has a significant negative relationship with firm value and profitability. The results of the study show that for the companies included in the sample, there are mixed effects of the components of working capital on firm performance. Managers can thus create value for shareholders by taking note of the existence of such relationships and take measures that enhance firm profitability.
