    Working capital, also known as net working capital, is a financial metric which represents operating liquidity available to a business. Along with fixed assets such as plant and equipment, working capital is considered a part of operating capital. It is calculated as current assets minus current liabilities. If current assets are less than current liabilities, an entity has a working capital deficiency, also called a working capital deficit. Working capital management is simple and a straightforward concept of ensuring the ability of the organization to fund the difference between the short-term assets and short-term liabilities (Harris 2005). Currently, working capital management became an important issue to all firms; overall, it can minimize companies’ risks and…

    The importance of efficient working capital management (WCM) is indisputable. Working capital is the difference between resources in cash or readily convertible into cash (Current Assets) and organizational commitments for which cash will soon be required (Current Liabilities). The objective of working capital management is to maintain the optimum balance of each of the working capital components. Business viability relies on the ability to effectively manage receivables, inventory, and payables. Firms are able to reduce financing costs and/or increase the funds available for expansion by minimizing the amount of funds tied up in current assets. Much managerial effort is expended in bringing non-optimal levels of current assets and liabilities back toward optimal levels. An optimal level would be one in which a balance is achieved between risk and efficiency.…

    There is a trade-off between liquidity and profitability; gaining more of one ordinarily means giving up some of the other. Liquidity means having enough money in the form of cash, or near-cash assets, to meet your financial obligations. Alternatively, the ease with which assets can be converted into cash. Profitability is a measure of the amount by which a company's revenues exceed its relevant expenses. It is obvious that excessively high levels of liquidity will not do any organization any excellent, particularly in the long run as such an organization may be losing out on worthwhile investment opportunities. Low liquidity levels may limit an organizations’ ability to respond to business emergencies. Low profitability levels may lead to slow speed of corporate growth and may even affect a firms’ market rating. One of the probable dangers of high profitability levels is that it can make a fake impression that an organization has fully matured and reached a comfort zone. The resultant effect is that the management of such enterprises ends up becoming less strategic, less proactive and thus prone to corporate drift. Corporate drift itself may end up leading to corporate failure.…
