This study aims to examine the relationship between working capital management strategies (aggressive, moderate, conservative) and profitability. The study relied on the financial statements published by industrial pharmaceutical corporations in the last five years, namely 2009-2013, using the Pearson correlation coefficient between classifications according to corporate working capital management strategies, as well as profitability classification (high, medium and low) to determine whether a statistically significant relationship between the strategies followed for working capital management and profitability of the corporation. The study's results revealed a stronger relationship between working capital management strategy and profitability of Jordanian industrial pharmaceutical corporations that followed a moderate strategy compared with those that followed an aggressive strategy. Furthermore, Jordanian pharmaceutical corporations didn’t follow a conservative working capital management strategy.

The article evaluates select financial security indicators from groups of dairy cooperatives, and examines the relationship between the net working capital ratio and these indicators, in order to illustrate the strength of the relationship between pursued strategies and financial security. Most of the surveyed entities pursued a conservative strategy in the area of working capital management. The greatest relation between the share of net working capital in current assets and financial security ratios was found in the case of financial liquidity (according to the literature and the author’s expectations), where this relation was close to unity. A negative strength in the relationship was noted between the ratio of working capital share in current assets and trading in inventories in days in all groups of cooperatives, regardless of the working capital strategy applied.

AbstractThis study aims to determine the effect of working capital management on firm value. Corporate governance is used as a moderating variable in this study to explore the role of corporate governance in the relationship between working capital management with corporate values. Program participants of Corporate Governance Perception Index (CGPI) are used as a sample during the period from 2003 to 2011 and listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange (IDX). We were using simple linear regression and the testing of moderating effects were calculated by Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA). The results showed that the working capital management has an influence on the value of the firm. However, corporate governance variables failed to moderate the relationship between working capital management and enterprise value. It shows that companies and investors in the market still lack concern for the program response and Corporate Governance Perception Index (CGPI) as an assessment of the application of the principles of corporate governance that has been done by the company .Keywords: Working Capital Management, Cash Conversion Cycle, Corporate Governance, Firm Values

This study is conducted to identify the direction of the relationship between working capital management (WCM) and firm performance of the non-financial sector of Pakistan from 2009 till 2018. This has also looked at the effect of restricted access to loan on the WCM- Profitability relationship. The findings confirmed that restricted loan accessibility impacts the WCM-Profitability relationship. The comparative analysis demonstrated that financially constrained firms are mostly non-family firms that are new, growing, smaller in size, face high risk, maintain high liquidity and tangibility ratios than non-constrained firms. Further, the working capital levels of financially constraint firms is lower because of high operating expenses and greater capital rationing. Managers and scholars may use these findings for the administration of their working capital policies in order to avoid the financial cost and create more opportunities for financial accessibility which is further beneficial for making informed investment decisions, yielding higher profits that contribute towards sustainable growth.
