Cash BudgetThe working capital management consist of the relatio.docxtroutmanboris
Cash Budget
The working capital management consist of the relationship of the company short-term liabilities & assets. Its goal is to confirm that an organization can maintain its operations in addition has enough capacity to satisfy all evolving short-term debt also potential operational expenses. The working capital management includes managing accounts payable, receivable, cash, and inventories (Studyfinance, 2020, p. para 1). As per the scenario, we take two components: inventory management and cash budget.
Cash Budget
A cash budget fixes the expected cash sources as well as uses it in a future. This budget used to measure either operations of the company and other activities can produce sufficient cash to fulfill the expected requirements of cash. Unless, then management needs to find alternative sources of financing. The cash budget inputs come from various other budgets. The cash budget enumerates debt, investments, and both interest expense and income which result in financing budget.
Example
The example demonstrates that the company is positioned in a negative cash situation by an excessively large dividend in the second cash budget week, combined with a major asset purchase the next week. Paying such a high dividend may be a challenge for lenders who don't like issuing loans; therefore, businesses can use the money to pay their shareholders and thus undermine their ability to repay the loans. Therefore, accepting a minimal dividend payout and eliminating a negative cash position can be better for the company (Accountingtools, 2019, p. para 2).
Inventory Management
Inventory management is refers to that process which includes storing, organizing, as well as using the inventory of a company. These contain the management of components, finished products, raw materials, as well as processing and warehousing such items. For companies through complex manufacturing processes and supply chains, balancing the inventory shortages and gluts risks is specifically difficult (Hayes, 2019, p. para 1).

Intellectual capital: A modern model to measure the value creation in a businessAI Publications
Using a sample of 92 patients, this study looked into the impact of intellectual capital on the efficiency of private hospitals. The researchers used a quantitative approach to assess the effect of Intellectual capital (Human capital, Structural capital, and Relational capital) on long-term competitive advantage in private hospitals in Iraq's Kurdistan region. The research sample was selected using a random sampling method and conducted in various locations across Iraq's Kurdistan province. A total of 110 questionnaires were distributed, but only 92 people correctly completed them. The findings revealed that the most effective relationship with firm success was between human capital as an element of Intellectual capital, while the least effective relationship was between ownership as an element of Intellectual capital. Furthermore, our findings indicate that finance managers should use debts as a last resort in terms of intellectual capital. Finally, our research can be improved by using more controlled variables, a greater sample size, and data from a longer time span in the regression models. Other methods and steps can be used as well.

Driving Sustainable Competitive Advantage Through an Innovative Aggregator Bu...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT : The aim of the research is to analyze the influence of the aggregation business model on
Sustainable Competitive Advantage (SCA). Through a survey of 216 MSMEs in the creative economy sector
selected randomly using an ex post facto causal research approach, an overview of the aggregator business
model and its impact on financial resources and SCA was obtained. The aggregator business model plays a role
in facilitating increased access to financial resources to meet both available and required working capital for
realizing SCA in Malang's Lokanima area. The strength of ABM lies in understanding the resources needed for
SCA and the effectiveness of mobilizing services while considering the most cost-effective options, including
providing various alternatives in their provision. Financial resources are an important factor supporting the
achievement of SCA. Access to financial resources is key to facilitating business growth and sustainability.
Theoretical implications: The concept of the aggregator business model emphasizes the efficient and effective
collection, aggregation, and distribution of resources in connecting service providers with consumers in an
economical and efficient manner. Practical implications: ABM can enhance the performance of financial
resource provision by optimizing relationships with MSMEs and financial institutions, leading to business

Relationship between Corporate Social Responsibility and Earnings Management ...ijtsrd
The relationship between corporate social responsibility CSR and earnings management EM is an extensive empirical study. However, the evidence on the nature of the relationship is unclear. A commonly defined reason for divergent and contradictory results is measurement issues. The purpose of this article is to evaluate alternative operation and measurement methods applied to the CSR and EM concepts in the empirical literature on CSR EM relationships. Our systematized appraisal was conducted over the last nine years from 2008 to 2016. This study has come to different observations. First, CSR measurement methods include sustainability indexes, content analyzes and single dimensional measurements, while EM measurement methods include discretionary accruals, discretionary loan loss provisions, real earnings management, abnormal earnings management, earnings persistence and earnings smoothing. In addition to the unique drawbacks of the approach, the subjectivity of the researcher and the selection anomalies that may influence the nature of the CSR EM relationships identified in the empirical literature. Finally, possible ways of overcoming these disadvantages are recommended.

UNRAVELLING THE MENTAL HEALTH LANDSCAPE: EXPLORING DEPRESSION AND ASSOCIATED ...indexPub
Introduction: The prevalence of depression and its correlates in Bangladeshi rural university students have been rarely investigated. We draw a literature review, a cross-sectional study and analysis of the rural students’ depression natures and mechanisms that influence their academic performance and health and well-being. Methods: A cross-sectional research was conducted during the period august 2019 to January 2020 in a university. We employed Beck Depression Inventory scale to collect data from 200 undergraduate and graduate students. Data were analysed using chi-square association test and ordinal logistic regression. Results: We discovered that mild to severe depression affected 60% of rural students [mild (16%), borderline (10%), moderate (12%), severe (11.5%), and extreme (10.5%)]. Family expectations, smoking, bad academic achievement, inability to enroll in a particular program, and inadequate household finances were significant risk factors for depression. When it comes to depression, male students scored noticeably higher than female pupils. The decreased depression was linked to both strong household economics and intellectual achievement. Conclusions: The intricate interactions among the risk factors influence the character and processes of depression in rural students.
IMPACT OF PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT ON SUCCESSION PLANNINGindexPub
Motivation: HR in an organization faces various challenges in business environment, such as Building Capabilities, Improving Productivity, Building Performance Culture, Talent Management, Succession Planning for Key Leadership and Critical Roles, Developing Accountability and Ownership, Human Capital Management and transforming HR function into developmental Role from the legacy driven HR, etc. Succession Planning is the process of identifying and developing individuals, who have potential to hold the key leadership position in an Organization, whereas Performance Management includes assessing and improving upon the performance of an employee to meet the organizational goals. There are several Management Practices, which are adopted widely in Industry to make a successful Succession Planning. Workforce and Talent Management is one of them. The health of an organization majorly depends on the proper placement of people, which is a combined outcome of Talent Identification, Talent Development and Talent Retention. Performance Management plays a vital role in Talent Identification. It also has an impact on Talent Development and Talent Retention. The key idea of succession planning suggests that the right person to be placed at the right position at the right time. Succession planning is becoming a challenge these days in the corporate world. Organizations are often not found prepared with their successors to occupy the key positions as and when required. The positions are either kept vacant for a substantial period or more than one role is assigned to a single person. Identifying the right talent for the key positions from outside the organization and recruiting them is a much more difficult task at the eleventh hour. This has a significant impact on organizational health and in turn to organizational sustainability. Organizations must last longer than people. Role of organization continues even when the people move out. Employees must superannuate after attaining a certain age. Also, organizations must have a contingency plan for sudden vacancy arises out of attrition, health hazards and death of employee. Succession planning is the strategy to ensure that a suitable person is made available during exigencies. Employees are developed for taking on higher responsibilities and for the new roles that may emerge in future. The placement of Key Leadership positions can be executed either by inviting the talent from outside or developing the talent in-house. The latter is always in demand keeping in view the core values of the organization and the impact on loyalty and organizational culture in a long run. It is preferable to develop the in-house talent pool to reduce dependency on recruitment of experienced people from outside for the critical roles. It brings the talent acquisition cost low and contributes as a motivating factor for the team as well. The acceptability of a person placed at Top / Key Leadership Positions is high when these are occupied

UNRAVELLING THE MENTAL HEALTH LANDSCAPE: EXPLORING DEPRESSION AND ASSOCIATED ...indexPub
Introduction: The prevalence of depression and its correlates in Bangladeshi rural university students have been rarely investigated. We draw a literature review, a cross-sectional study and analysis of the rural students’ depression natures and mechanisms that influence their academic performance and health and well-being. Methods: A cross-sectional research was conducted during the period august 2019 to January 2020 in a university. We employed Beck Depression Inventory scale to collect data from 200 undergraduate and graduate students. Data were analysed using chi-square association test and ordinal logistic regression. Results: We discovered that mild to severe depression affected 60% of rural students [mild (16%), borderline (10%), moderate (12%), severe (11.5%), and extreme (10.5%)]. Family expectations, smoking, bad academic achievement, inability to enroll in a particular program, and inadequate household finances were significant risk factors for depression. When it comes to depression, male students scored noticeably higher than female pupils. The decreased depression was linked to both strong household economics and intellectual achievement. Conclusions: The intricate interactions among the risk factors influence the character and processes of depression in rural students.
IMPACT OF PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT ON SUCCESSION PLANNINGindexPub
Motivation: HR in an organization faces various challenges in business environment, such as Building Capabilities, Improving Productivity, Building Performance Culture, Talent Management, Succession Planning for Key Leadership and Critical Roles, Developing Accountability and Ownership, Human Capital Management and transforming HR function into developmental Role from the legacy driven HR, etc. Succession Planning is the process of identifying and developing individuals, who have potential to hold the key leadership position in an Organization, whereas Performance Management includes assessing and improving upon the performance of an employee to meet the organizational goals. There are several Management Practices, which are adopted widely in Industry to make a successful Succession Planning. Workforce and Talent Management is one of them. The health of an organization majorly depends on the proper placement of people, which is a combined outcome of Talent Identification, Talent Development and Talent Retention. Performance Management plays a vital role in Talent Identification. It also has an impact on Talent Development and Talent Retention. The key idea of succession planning suggests that the right person to be placed at the right position at the right time. Succession planning is becoming a challenge these days in the corporate world. Organizations are often not found prepared with their successors to occupy the key positions as and when required. The positions are either kept vacant for a substantial period or more than one role is assigned to a single person. Identifying the right talent for the key positions from outside the organization and recruiting them is a much more difficult task at the eleventh hour. This has a significant impact on organizational health and in turn to organizational sustainability. Organizations must last longer than people. Role of organization continues even when the people move out. Employees must superannuate after attaining a certain age. Also, organizations must have a contingency plan for sudden vacancy arises out of attrition, health hazards and death of employee. Succession planning is the strategy to ensure that a suitable person is made available during exigencies. Employees are developed for taking on higher responsibilities and for the new roles that may emerge in future. The placement of Key Leadership positions can be executed either by inviting the talent from outside or developing the talent in-house. The latter is always in demand keeping in view the core values of the organization and the impact on loyalty and organizational culture in a long run. It is preferable to develop the in-house talent pool to reduce dependency on recruitment of experienced people from outside for the critical roles. It brings the talent acquisition cost low and contributes as a motivating factor for the team as well. The acceptability of a person placed at Top / Key Leadership Positions is high when these are occupied

A SOCIAL CAPITAL APPROACH TO ENTREPRENEURIAL ECOSYSTEM AND INNOVATION: CASE S...indexPub
Despite being recognised as drivers of innovative development, Micro, Small, and Medium-Sized Enterprises (MSMEs) frequently confront resource limitations. Therefore, enhancing the ecosystem is contingent on the entrepreneurs’ social capital, which is crucial for the success of MSMEs. This study applies the social capital approach to analyse the entrepreneurial ecosystem enrichment and its impact on the innovation process of cosmetics MSMEs. The qualitative case study of six cosmetic manufacturing MSMEs explores that social capital is a multifaceted asset to MSMEs. Through an in-depth thematic analysis of three dimensions of social capital (structural, relational, and cognitive), this study states that the innovation process is supported by the synergistic transformation of one dimension of social capital into another. Entrepreneurs sharing the common norms, rules, and language enrich their cognitive as well as relational aspects of ecosystem. The study suggests that as network ties, trust, and norms collectively influence innovation in firms, hence, social capital needs to be studied with its contextualization in the ecosystem.

Conclusions: The level of depression and self-esteem and parental reflection affect students. A link has been found between economic status and emotional problems and student behavior. To prevent it, the psychological service in schools should function, and together with families and the community should be as close as possible to the problems of students.
THE IMPACT OF SOCIAL FACTORS ON INDIVIDUALS DIAGNOSED WITH SCHIZOPHRENIAindexPub
The society with diverse structural and ideological influences, assumes its role in relation to behavior, attitude, belief and relations. The impact can be seen in every society globally, however the western nations have adjusted their social policies to suit these transformations, whereas nations in developing phase have failed to establish suitable systems. In Kosovo, the allocation of funds for mental health services remains insufficient, even though mental health disorders account for 12.3% of overall illnesses and 30.8% of work incapacities! The objective of this study is to examine the impact of society on the decline and recovery of individuals with schizophrenia. The study employs both qualitative and quantitative methods to provide a descriptive-analytical. A study was conducted in four municipalities of Kosovo, using individuals with schizophrenia from psychiatric institutions as subjects along with their caregivers/family members . The research found that social factors greatly contribute to the worsening of schizophrenia patients' condition. The presence of schizophrenia is evident through a higher likelihood of having a low level of education, high unemployment rates, and engaging in harmful behaviors like tobacco and alcohol use, as well as physical inactivity. Significant correlations have been observed in the subscales of positive and negative symptoms using the Self-Report PNS-Q questionnaires. It is crucial for individuals with schizophrenia to have a carefully designed strategy in place, developed in partnership with professionals from various relevant fields such as social protection, psychiatric medical services, education, and social integration plans.

CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE DETECTION USING MACHINE LEARNING AND RISK CLASSIFICATI...indexPub
The global prevalence of heart disease indicates a major public health issue. It causes shortness of breath, weakness, and swollen ankles. Early heart disease diagnosis is difficult with current approaches. Hence, a better heart disease detection tool is needed. Treatment requires more than just diagnosis. Risk classification is critical for accurate diagnosis and treatment. In this analysis, a novel cardiovascular disease (CVD) detection paradigm using machine learning (ML) and risk classification based on a weighted fuzzy system is proposed. The system is developed based on ML algorithms such as artificial neural network (ANN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and uses standard feature selection techniques knowns as Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Furthermore, the cross-validation method has been used for learning the best practices of model assessment and for hyperparameter tuning. The accuracy-based performance measuring metrics are used for the assessment of the performances of the classifiers. Finally, the outcomes revealed that the proposed model achieved an accuracy of 94.01% which is higher than another conventional model developed in this domain. Additionally, the proposed system can easily be implemented in healthcare for the identification of heart disease.
ANALYSIS OF FLOW CHARACTERISTICS OF THE BLOOD THROUGH CURVED ARTERY WITH MIL...indexPub
Narrowing of the arteries caused by atherosclerosis reduces blood flow to the heart, which results shows ischemia, angina pectoris, cerebral strokes, and other coronary artery disease signs and symptoms. Curvature is seen in blood vessels at various locations. The stenotic surface provides an additional curvature and the point of maximum shear which varies with the cross-section. A cylindrical form of the Navier-Stokes equations in polar coordinate system have been extended to include dynamic curvature along the axial direction. The blood flow behavior of taking different values of blood parameters like viscosity, the radius of the artery, and the thickness of the stenosis has been studied with and without curvature by using an extended blood flow model with dynamic curvature. Moreover, the aspects of blood flow, such as dynamic curvature velocity profile, volumetric flow rate, pressure drop, and shear stress, have been studied in relation to blood flow around curved arteries with stenosis, variations in the radii of the artery, thickness of the stenosis, and viscosity. The information may reveal that by increasing the values of curvature, viscosity, and thickness of stenosis, velocity, and volumetric flow rate can be quickly reduced. Increasing the curvature, viscosity, and thickness of stenosis also results in an increase in shear stress and a pressure drop. The presence of curved stenotic arteries has a significant impact on the flow parameters, and it is crucial to know about these dynamics in order to study the cardiovascular system.

ACADEMIC BANK OF CREDIT: A WORLDWIDE VIEWPOINTindexPub
To make higher education more accessible and successful in the world today, the Academic Bank of Credits (ABC) is a new concept. Successful learning adaptation requires the transfer of credits and the acknowledgment of academic accomplishment. Recognition of credits is the process by which one educational organisation verifies that the educational experiences gained and assessed at another institution meet the requirements of one of their courses. The use of Academic Bank of Credits allows for a more adaptable method of curriculum building and design while also encouraging transparency. The credit system at this university is designed to accommodate different curricula while encouraging students to explore beyond traditional academic boundaries. The purpose of this research is to educate the audience about the Academic Bank of Credit. The demand for flexible and transferable credits in the education system led to the creation of the Academic Bank of Credits. In the past, students had a hard time moving their credits from one school to another because of the many credit systems and curriculums. Students and schools alike wasted time, energy, and materials because of this. Readers will have a better understanding of the following topics from this article: ABCs' objectives, functions, organisational structures, implementation plan, and eligibility criteria for higher education institutions to register with Academic Bank of Credits.
IMPACT OF MICROFINANCE ON POVERTY REDUCTION IN SOUTHERN PUNJAB PAKISTANindexPub
Microfinance has been adopted by several developing nations to raise their inhabitants' standards of living. It also contributes to their improved economic growth. Pakistan is now implementing this idea and seeing positive results from microfinance. In Pakistan, Khushhali Bank is a notable player in the microfinance industry. The results of the sample data selection indicate that microfinance operations have an effect on the standard of life of individuals residing in a particular region in Muzaffargarh. For this study, 100 clients of Khushhali Bank have been chosen. The primary goal of the research is to determine how Khushhali Bank's microfinance initiatives affect people's ability to live better lives. A Ex-post Facto research model was used to the gathered data in order to determine the relationship between the microfinance loan and living standard metrics. The analysis's conclusion indicates that microfinance operations have very little influence on raising people's standards of living, meaning they don't play a significant part in raising living standards. Apart from microfinance loans, there are additional variables that contribute to the improvement of people's standard of life.
A NOVEL DENSITY-BASED CLUSTERING ALGORITHM FOR PREDICTING CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASEindexPub
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain a leading cause of global morbidity and mortality. Early identification of individuals at risk of heart disease is crucial for effective preventive interventions. To improve the prediction accuracy, this paper proposed Heart Disease Prediction using the Density-Based Ordering of Clustering Objects (DBOCO) framework. The Dataset has been pre-processed using Weighted Transform K-Means Clustering (WTKMC). Features are selected using Ensemble Feature Selection (EFS) with a Weighted Binary Bat Algorithm (WBBAT) used to ensure that the emphasis is on the most relevant predictors. Finally, the prediction has been done using the Density-Based Ordering of Clustering method, which has been designed exclusively for cardiovascular disease prediction. DBOCO, a density-based clustering approach, effectively finds dense clusters within data, allowing for the inherent overlap in cardiovascular risk variables. DBOCO captures complicated patterns by detecting these overlapping clusters, improving the accuracy of disease prediction models. The proposed approach has been verified with heart disease datasets, displaying higher performance than traditional methods. This study marks a substantial leap in predicting cardiovascular disease providing a comprehensive and dependable framework for early identification and preventive concern.
INFLUENCE OF ADDITIVES ON THE MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF HIGH-MODULUS ASPHALT C...indexPub
The appearance of premature cracks in freeway chase bodies is a worrying problem that requires in-depth analysis and remedial action. By identifying potential causes and proposing targeted recommendations, this study aims to help the responsible authorities make informed decisions to prevent such problems in the future and ensure the durability of road infrastructure. Premature cracking and rutting are common problems in pavements that can compromise their durability and safety. The use of specific additives in asphalt concrete can help prevent these deficiencies. The use of ZQ1 additive alone can lead to premature cracking in pavements, while PR FLEX 20 additive can increase the risk of rutting. However, a judicious combination of the two additives, with specific percentages of 2% for ZQ1 and 5% for PR FLEX 20, can prevent these shortcomings, improve pavement durability and optimize the mechanical properties of high-modulus asphalt concrete (BBME). In addition, this approach offers a promising solution for improving pavement durability and performance over time, opening the door to further studies to optimize the use of this additive combination in field applications.
DIALECTAL VARIABILITY IN SPOKEN LANGUAGE: A COMPREHENSIVE SURVEY OF MODERN TE...indexPub
Main fundamental challenge for recent research work on speech based on science and technology is to understand and model the user variants in Spoken Languages. Users have their style of speaking, reliant on various factors, adding the dialect and accent of the speaker as well as the social and economic background of the speaker and contextual attributes like degree of knowledge between the listener, speaker and the position or rank of the speaking condition, from very normal to formal. In the past few decades, an extensive progress has been seen in automatically verifying the language of a speaker offered a sample speech. The main purpose of dialect verification is the recognition of a speaker’s region dialect, within a pre-determined language, offered the acoustic signal alone. DR (Dialect Recognition) is a main issue in particular, since even within the similar dialect and accent or register user change may occur. For illustration, In Spontaneous speech, few speakers tend to exhibit more optimizing and alteration of function words than others. The main issue of dialect recognition system has been viewed as challenging than that of language classification or recognition due to the maximum similarity among dialects of the similar language. While, dialects may differ in any dimensions of the linguistic spectrum such as syntactic, lexical, morphological, phonological differences, these changes are likely to be more indirect across dialects than those across languages such as Hindi, Punjabi and English etc.
ENHANCING ACCURACY IN HEART DISEASE PREDICTION: A HYBRID APPROACHindexPub
Predicting the onset of heart disease accurately is essential for early diagnosis and prevention of this global pandemic. The paper suggests a hybrid method to improve heart disease prediction. The research examines several machine learning (ML) models for detecting heart illness and assesses how well they predict heart disease. To enhance precision, the hybrid method employs not one but many machine learning methods. The hybrid method employs SVMs, random forests, and neural networks as its machine- learning algorithms. When it comes to classification, SVM is a very effective method. The data points are separated into classes, and the optimal hyperplane to do this is the goal. SVM can learn the boundaries and patterns between various risk variables and efficiently categorize people as having heart disease or not. Random forests are a kind of ensemble learning that uses several individual decision trees to make a final determination. The characteristics used to construct each decision tree are chosen at random. Each decision tree contributes to the overall forecast, which is then aggregated. Due to their versatility, random forests may be used to the prediction of cardiovascular disease. Neural networks are a kind of algorithm that takes their cues from the way the human brain operates. They are made up of several layers of artificial neurons working together to learn intricate patterns from data. Medical diagnosis is only one field where neural networks have been shown to be useful. In the hybrid method, neural networks may learn complex associations between risk factors and cardiovascular disease and provide reliable prognoses based on this information. The hybrid method enhances the accuracy of heart disease prediction by combining the benefits of various machine-learning techniques

what is the future of Pi Network currency.DOT TECH
The future of the Pi cryptocurrency is uncertain, and its success will depend on several factors. Pi is a relatively new cryptocurrency that aims to be user-friendly and accessible to a wide audience. Here are a few key considerations for its future:
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram if u want to sell PI COINS.
1. Mainnet Launch: As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Pi was still in the testnet phase. Its success will depend on a successful transition to a mainnet, where actual transactions can take place.
2. User Adoption: Pi's success will be closely tied to user adoption. The more users who join the network and actively participate, the stronger the ecosystem can become.
3. Utility and Use Cases: For a cryptocurrency to thrive, it must offer utility and practical use cases. The Pi team has talked about various applications, including peer-to-peer transactions, smart contracts, and more. The development and implementation of these features will be essential.
4. Regulatory Environment: The regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies is evolving globally. How Pi navigates and complies with regulations in various jurisdictions will significantly impact its future.
5. Technology Development: The Pi network must continue to develop and improve its technology, security, and scalability to compete with established cryptocurrencies.
6. Community Engagement: The Pi community plays a critical role in its future. Engaged users can help build trust and grow the network.
7. Monetization and Sustainability: The Pi team's monetization strategy, such as fees, partnerships, or other revenue sources, will affect its long-term sustainability.
It's essential to approach Pi or any new cryptocurrency with caution and conduct due diligence. Cryptocurrency investments involve risks, and potential rewards can be uncertain. The success and future of Pi will depend on the collective efforts of its team, community, and the broader cryptocurrency market dynamics. It's advisable to stay updated on Pi's development and follow any updates from the official Pi Network website or announcements from the team.
how to sell pi coins in South Korea profitably.DOT TECH
Yes. You can sell your pi network coins in South Korea or any other country, by finding a verified pi merchant
What is a verified pi merchant?
Since pi network is not launched yet on any exchange, the only way you can sell pi coins is by selling to a verified pi merchant, and this is because pi network is not launched yet on any exchange and no pre-sale or ico offerings Is done on pi.
Since there is no pre-sale, the only way exchanges can get pi is by buying from miners. So a pi merchant facilitates these transactions by acting as a bridge for both transactions.
How can i find a pi vendor/merchant?
Well for those who haven't traded with a pi merchant or who don't already have one. I will leave the telegram id of my personal pi merchant who i trade pi with.

The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.
US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.

INTRODUCTION
The financial performance of an organization is impacted by working capital
management(WCM), which calls for sound administration to poise out performance and
theminmise the risk of not paying bills on time(Wambia& Jagongo, 2020).The effectiveness
of WCM practices and the financial features of business organizationsdetermine the financial
health and activities of its businesses(Pham, 2013; Pratap Singh & Kumar, 2014).Working
capital management refers to an act of meeting the short-term financial obligation of a
firm(Ganesan, 2007; Godswill et al., 2018). WCM focuses primarily on decision-making

concerning the number&patternof the current assets & current liabilities in a business
(MansooriandMuhammad,2012). Raising working capital management effectiveness is seen to
be a useful strategy for enhancing financial standings as well as the sales and profitability of a
business organization. Due to the greaterpercentage of current assets, lesser liquidity, unsteady
cash flows, &dependence on short-term loans business organizations need to pay special
consideration to the supervision and monitoring of working capital (Peel et al., 2000; Howorth
and Westhead, 2003,Afrifa, 2013). Many organizations (businesses) take longer to turn
inventory into sales and collect unpaid debts and take a little time to pay off the account
payables(Jacinta, 2011).An increasing number of scholars are exploring the fast developments
inWorking capital management as its practices across diverse industries. Working capital
management significantly improves average total assets in the healthcare industry (Harsh,
2014).
(Asareet. Al.Narrates that nonetheless, WCM research in the Construction industry
is still in its initial stages. When managing operational working capital as part of Supply chain
finance, it's important to strike a balance between releasing cash that is already committed,
which boosts profitability, and reducing risks brought on by having insufficient operational
working capital (Marttonen et al., 2013). There is enormousliterature highlighting the
relationship between WCM practices & financial performance of companies or
industries(Mandipa& Sibindi, 2022; Ren et al., 2019; Wasiuzzaman & Arumugam,
2013)(Nguyen et al., 2016) described in a study on selected listed companies on the Vietnamese
Stock Exchange that Working Capital Management can assist businesses with short-term
responsibilities and increase efficiency by strengthening the credit and supply chains, but it has
nothing to do with the profitability of the selected companies.
Another study states that stock management practices affect SMEs' financial performance,
managers must employ effective stock management practices as a strategy to mend their
financial performance so as to endure in the ambiguous business environment (Hamza et al.,
2015).Due to their greater proportion of current assets, worse liquidity, unsteady cash flows,
and dependence on short-term loans compared to large companies, Small and Medium
Enterprises (SMEs) need to pay extraordinary attention to the supervision and monitoring of
working capital (Peel et al., 2000; Howorth and Westhead, 2003,Afrifa, 2013).The
management of working capital and fixed assets, which have a significant impact on a
company's profitability, must be done optimally by the Indian hotel industry if it is to increase
profitability. Hotel owners must therefore effectively manage their working capital(Bansal&
Khosla, 2020).
However, Working capital management has a huge relevance in dealing business
operations(Lina Warrad & Rania Al Omari, 2015; Prasad, Sivasankaran, et al., 2019; Sahoo &
Thakur, 2022). The study reveals that working capital investments &finance practices effects
profitability to huge extent. The study advises accountants to acquire both accounting and
finance knowledge and abilities to boost business profitability.It is suggested thatthe true
effectiveness ofthe operational working capital-modified cash conversion cycle should be used
which takes into account the current items(Talonpoika et al., 2014). In addition to short-term
financial planning, business managers need to have efficient short-term planning processes for
managing cash, accounts receivable, inventory, and working capital (Almomani et al., 2021;
Bansal & Khosla, 2020; Nguyen et al., 2016; Pham, 2013).
Businesses must have effective short-term planning procedures, including those for managing
cash, accounts receivable, inventory, and working capital, as well as short-term financial
planning(Almomani et al., 2021; Nguyen et al., 2016; Pham, 2013). However, the financial
3. 32

managers or owners should assess the consequences of these components on the company's
operations and decisions in WCMpractices to see if they influence effectiveness of financial
management and performance(Mardones, 2022; Pham, 2013).Managers spend a significant
amount of time managing working capital. It deals with the daily decisions that managers take
to make certain the efficient operation of the business(Nyeadi et al., 2018).There have been
varying degrees of advancements in working capital management across various
businesses(Boisjoly et al., 2020).Working capital managers are typically thought of as passive
participants in significant corporate decisions(Ramiah, Zhao, Moosa, & Graham, 2016). Due
to the nature of the industry, specific financial measures better reflect the effects of changing
working capital management policies.
In the healthcare business, working capital management has a significant positive effect on to
average total assets (Harsh, 2014). The most important obstacles to Supply chain finance are
poor cash flow management and disruptions in working capital management (Sahoo& Thakur,
2022).The business can design strategy for long-term borrowing in order to expand or possiblt
to investing in newfangled initiatives when the firm has high working capital efficiency since
it reduces the demand for borrowed funds in the short term(Prasad, Narayanasamy, et al.,
2019).The managers have to use effective stock management practices as a strategy to enhance
their financial performance and subsist in the unstable business climate since stock
management does have an impact on SMEs' financial performance(Hamza et al., 2015).
The fascination of working capital management in business has moldedinterest in researchers.
Researchers have also underwritten this area by studying different dimensions of working
capital management. Rendering to the Scopus database, the paramount study on working
capital management was conducted in 1982. Prior studies on working capital management have
focused on firm value & profitability whereas there is a lesser amount of data/literature
available on SMEs, trade credit, financial constraints,etc . Therefore there is an urge need to
conduct a bibliometric study on working capital management. The study shall provide an
understanding of the research development in working capital management and allow scholars
to demeanor a study on the omitted elements of working capital management.
Given the implication of working capital management,we employ bibliometric analysis to
make available a observation of the prevailing literature on this field(Ahmad et al., 2022;
Baños-Caballero et al., 2010a; Sahoo & Thakur, 2022; Talonpoika et al., 2014; Torrès &
Thurik, 2018). The bibliometric review permits researcher to pinpoint the basis and theme of
working capital management(Boțoc& Anton, 2017; Ganesan, 2007; Godswill et al., 2018;
Morshed, 2020; Ramiah, Zhao, Moosa, Graham, et al., 2016). The bibliographic coupling and
co-citation analysis helps apprehend the thematic structure and familiarity of working capital
management. Additionally, co-occurrence and confluence analysis facilitate us to grasp the
research trends and research trend in working capital management(Afrifa, 2013; Lefebvre,
2022; Prasad, Narayanasamy, et al., 2019; Ramiah et al., 2014).
The present study intend topersuade the scholars by imparting a betterconsiderateknowledge
of the maximumprevalent and prominent works on working capital management and
countenance them to conductexcellent future research in this field(Amponsah-Kwatiah&
Asiamah, 2020; Baños-Caballero et al., 2010a; Pratap Singh & Kumar, 2014). It may also
permitscholars torecognize publication trends, research progression, and dominant publications
which will guide reserachers to recognize the research area in the paramount way. The
academician and scholars shall also get a superior understanding of the utmost common
thematic clusters, and contemporaneous research trends on working capital management(Baud
& Durand, 2012; Johnson & Soenen, 2003; Rashid et al., 2020; Talonpoika et al., 2014). It also

make availablenumerous benefits to the business when attempting to deploy working capital
management practices for their business elevations. All the same, it shall also add to the
developments of working capital management to unearthnovelinformation and
findings(Ahmad et al., 2022; Dalci & Ozyapici, 2018; Morshed, 2020; Pratap Singh & Kumar,
2014; Torrès & Thurik, 2018). Effective Working capital management practices by different
industries are quiet less consequently, the future research guidelinesacknowledged through the
existing study in this area shall provide more than a fewprospects and intend to also make
availableelucidations to deal with numerous working capital management.(Baños-Caballero et
al., 2010a; Lina Warrad & Rania Al Omari, 2015; Torrès & Thurik, 2018)
2.1 Defining Working Capital Management
The financial incomes that businesses necessitate to preserve their current short-
term daily operations are known as working capital (WC)(Viswanath et al.,2018).In academic
research on working capital management and supply chain effectiveness, the modified cash
conversion cycle (CCC) is frequently utilized. It demonstrates the astonishing extent to which
operational working capital in businesses that get advance payments is efficient(Talonpoika et
al., 2014).(Boisjoly et al., 2020) a study states that aggressive working capital practices and
continuous improvement programs on accounts receivable turnover, inventory turnover, and
days payables have significant long-term effects on transpotation& Communication sector.
2.2 WCM Practices: A Strategic Advantage
(Sawarni et al., 2021) explains the performance of the firms is ominouslywedged by WCM
effectiveness. Two important viewpoints have been used to analyze WC in the WCM literature
i.e. the static view and the operational cycle idea (Richards and Laughlin, 1980). As per
Pass and Pike (2007), a poorly managed WC could, in the worst instance, cause serious under
performance and insolvency.On the other hand, effective WC management can position a bus
iness for increased strategic advantage and value development.Position measurement, activity
measurement, and leverage measurement are three categories for the many aspects utilized to
comprehend WC (Smith and Begemann, 1997). Focusing on the current asset and liability
portion of the balance sheet, the static perspective or position measurement interprets working
capital (WC) as either net working capital, which is current assets less current liabilities, or as
the current ratio.There are diverse studies conducted across various industry sectors (Boisjoly
et al., 2020; Sahoo & Thakur, 2022; Talonpoika et al., 2014; Torrès & Thurik, 2018). (Deloof,
2003) illustrates the benefit of a lenient credit policy in the form of sales stimulation due to
clients' access to a longer amount of time to evaluate the quality of the product and simple
access to affordable financing for product acquisition
Background of Working Capital Management
The previous worksdemonstrationsdepicts that the main attention in corporate finance was on
long-term financial decisions which cover aspects of capital budgeting, capital structure
÷nds etc. Nevertheless, the concentration in working capital management has
augmented during the last two decades (Lyroudi and Lazaridis, 2000)(Nobanee et al., 2011).
The prime objective of working capital management is to achieve the firm's current accounts
to accomplish a looked-for balance between profitability and risk(Ricci à & Di Vito,
2000).Corporate finance emphases on investment and financing decisions.On the other hand,
the finance literature has given slightcontemplation to working capital management
(WCM)(Ramiah et al., 2014; Ramiah, Zhao, Moosa, & Graham, 2016). The exercise of more
belligerent working capital management policies upsurgesa firm's cost-effectiveness(Pais&
Gama, 2015).Working capital management is among the most imperative decisions for all
firms. Working capital management can solidly affect enterprises’ liquidity, profitability, and

solvency(Lin & Wang, 2021). Firms with extra growth prospects, and firms with advanced
leverage, investment in fixed assets, and return on assets have a more aggressive working
capital policy(Baños-Caballero et al., 2010b)(García-Teruel & Martínez-Solano, 2007a).The
efficient management of working capital refers to the management of current assets and current
liabilities which governspositive corporate profitability(Farooq et al., 2023).The relation
between the firm’s cash conversion cycle and its profitability was examined using dynamic
panel data analysis for a sample of Japanese firms for the period from 1990 to 2004. The
outcome of the study depicts arobust negative relation between the length of the firm’s cash
conversion cycle and its profitability for all companies except for consumer goods companies
and services companies(Nobanee et al., 2011).(Jahfer, 2015) investigated the effects of
working capital management on the profitability of manufacturing companies in Sri Lanka for
the period 2008 to 2013. The study reveals a significant negative relationship between accounts
payable and profitability which is consistent with the view that less profitable firms wait longer
to pay their bills.(García-Teruel & Martínez-Solano, 2007a)explains that the “cost of financing
harms firms’ CCCs” The results also suggest that better access to capital markets for firms
mayupsurge their investment in working capital.(Yilmaz& Nobanee, 2023) shows that firm
characteristics such as operating cash flow, sales growth rate, operating profit margin, firm size
and tangibility affect CCCcash conversion cyclespecifically across the MENA countries i.e.
“Middle East and North Africa”.(Lin & Wang, 2021)describes significant implications for
enterprise managers, signifying managers todevelop WCM and to graspprospects in the
improvement of non-state-owned economy. Working capital management
necessitatesvigilantconsideration from corporate managers for the reason that it has a an
imperativerole in corporate stability(Farooq et al., 2023).

3.2 Data collection
The Database: “Scopus” was used to extract the relevant data for the study. The Publication
of data for the study is extracted from the period 1974-2023. The Search Term “Working
Capital Management” To arrive at the final total of 174 articles in Table 1, we used a thorough
approach. The phrase "Working Capital Management" was used to include only English-
language articles from a variety of disciplines, as shown in Table 1.). The researcher used both
quality & quantitative measures to extract the accurate data for analysis. The documents
included for analysis are ‘‘Articles’’ and ‘‘Reviews’’ which include documents published in
English only. The quality screening is done which extracts documents that are published in
journals ranked ‘‘A*’’, ‘‘A’’, or ‘‘B’’ in the Australian Business Deans Council (ABDC) 2023.
Since Scopus has a sizable number of double-blind peer-reviewed papers published in high-
impact factor journals, it was used to gather the data (Groff et al., 2020).
There are numerous steps to clean & organize the final data. As suggested by Zupic and Cater
(2015) and Donthu et al. (2021) the bibliographic and bibliometric data are used forthe
visualization and interpretation of the results. For better analysis and results, the researchers
cleaned up numerous terms included in the article's "titles, abstracts, and keywords" using the
"natural language processing" function offered by the VOSviewer software. Finally, a lot of
these cleansing techniques help achieve consistency in terms of theme evaluation. The research
papers included in this study have been chosen from Australian Business categories A*, A, or
B only.
3.3 Selecting the technique for analysis
Selecting the analytical methods Bibliometric analysis is a collection of tools that uses
quantitative approaches to analyze and evaluate text and information (Mishra et al., 2018;
Goyal and Kumar, 2021). Using this method, it is possible to extract fresh data from literature
reviews that can be added to the existing study (Suominen et al., 2016; Groff et al., 2020). To
do this, it is necessary to establish and publish biographies on a particular topic, identify
patterns within a research area, and assess research works that serve as a guide to know the
state of research (Gao et al., 2021; Hossain et al., 2022). To examine the information on
biographic data by authors, citations, bibliographic coupling, co-citations, and co-word
analysis, researchers utilize bibliometric analysis approaches Donthu et al. (2021).
4. FINDINGS
4.1 Performance analysis:
Figure 1 exemplifies the publicationdrifts in the area of working capital management.2022 was
the most fruitful yearyet the journey of research in this domain was instigatedbyPhilippatos
and Christofi (1982). the initial trends indicate the use of working capital management
practices. GarcÃa-Teruel and MartÃnez-Solano(2007)have conducted a study on working
capital and SMEs as a research theme for the very first time.2010 was the year when the
attractiveness of working capital management began and since 2022, their rate of production
every year has significantly increased. Inclusive, observing at the present-day trend, the study
in this dominion shall upsurge in the coming years.

The research insists on providing a shred of empirical evidence on the effects of working capital
management on the profitability of a sample of small and medium-sized Spanish firms. The
results of the study demonstrate that managers can create value by reducing their inventories
and the number of days for which their accounts are outstanding. Furthermore, limiting the
cash conversion cycle can alsoimprove the firm’s profitability.

The study discussedthe value effect of working capital management (WCM) for a large sample
of US firms between 1982–2011. The existence of an optimal level of working capital policy
in firms helps to improve their stock and operating performance. The outcome of the study
explains that corporate investment is the channel through which efficient WCM translates into
superior firm performance. Specifically efficient WCM permits firms to redistribute
underutilized corporate resources to higher-valued use like the funding of cash acquisitions.
4.5 Top reference for working capital management
Table 5 indicates the top references of research publications for Working capital management
based on local citations and their global citations. The paper authored by GARCÍA-TERUEL
PJ, (2007) titled “Effects of working capital management on SME profitability” is a top
reference paper with 70 local citations and 381 global citations. The local citations upon global
citations ratio is18.37. The study is adamant about offering actual data on how working capital
management affects a sample of small- and medium-sized Spanish businesses' profitability.
The findings of the study show that managers can increase value by lowering inventories and
the number of days that accounts are past due. Additionally, reducing the cash conversion cycle
might boost a company's profitability.AKTAS N,(2015) study titled “Is working capital
management value-enhancing? Evidence from firm performance and investments” has the
second-highest references with 42 local citations, 203 global citations, and 20.69local upon
global citations ratio.The value impact of WCM for a sizable sample of US enterprises between
1982 and 2011 was discussed in the study. The stock and operating performance of businesses
are improved when working capital policies are at an acceptable level. The study's findings
indicate that corporate investment is the mechanism via which effective WCM results in higher
business performance. Particularly effective WCM enables businesses to reallocate unused
corporate resources to more valuable uses, such as the financing of cash acquisitions.

4.7 Thematic and influence structure analysis through bibliographic coupling
Through bibliographic coupling, the above table shows the theme clusters of Working capital
management. Working capital management and Firm Profitability, the value-enhancing
influence of Working Capital Management, Corporate Governance and Working capital
management, Supply chain Management and Working capital management, Working capital
management and SMEs, Working capital management and Small Business, and Behavioral
Finance and Working capital management are the seven topic groupings. In the Table, the
significant articles of each cluster are also included. The seven groups cover every aspect of
Working capital management, such as the behavioral finance approach to working capital
management, the effects of working capital management, the impact of corporate governance
on working capital management, and Working capital management during the global financial
crisis.
Cluster 1 includes research on Working capital management and Firm Profitability. (Enqvist
et al., 2014)did a study titled “The impact of working capital management on firm profitability
in different business cycles: Evidence from Finland”. In the study, researchersexamine the role
of business cycles on the working capital-profitability relationship using a sample of Finnish-

listed companies over 18 years. The study demonstrates that active working capital
management matters and, thus, should be included in firms' financial planning.(Abuzayed,
2012) examine the effect of working capital management on firms' performance. Using robust
estimation techniques this study found that profitability is affected positively with the cash
conversion cycle. This study suggested that policymakers in emerging markets need to
motivate and encourage managers and shareholders to pay more attention to working capital
by improving investors' awareness and improving information transparency. Pais,
M.A. and Gama, P.M. (2015) described empirical evidence on the effects of working capital
management on the profitability of small and medium-sized Portuguese firms. Results indicate
that a reduction in the inventories held and in the number of days that firms take to settle their
commercial liabilities and collect payments from their customers are associated with higher
corporate profitability.
Cluster 2 includes research related to the value-enhancing influence of Working Capital
Management. (Aktas et al., 2015) states that the firms that converge to that optimal level, either
by increasing or decreasing their investment in working capital, improve their stock and
operating performance over the subsequent period. The study pinpoints the fact that efficient
WCM allows firms to redeploy underutilized corporate resources to higher-valued use, such as
the funding of cash acquisitions.(Kieschnick et al., 2013) in a study elaborates on the
relationship between corporate working capital management and shareholders’ wealth. The
results of the study depict that the incremental dollar invested in net operating working capital
is worth less than the incremental dollar held in cash for the average firm. However, the
valuation of the incremental dollar invested in net operating working capital is significantly
influenced by a firm’s future sales expectations, debt load, financial constraints, and
bankruptcy risk.(Johnson & Soenen, 2003) investigate which factors discriminate between
financially successful and less successful companies. Financial success is measured using three
different methods, i.e., the Sharpe ratio, Jensen’s alpha, and EVA. The study explains that large
profitable firms with efficient working capital management and a certain degree of uniqueness
regarding their business are the most successful companies.

indicated that corporate governance plays some role in improving the efficiency of working
capital management. This study presents some relevant factors that can improve the efficiency
of working capital management, and in particular on the association between several features
of corporate governance and the efficiency of working capital management.(Boțoc & Anton,
2017) examine the relationship between working capital management and firm profitability.
The study highlights the importance of short-term financial decisions in enhancing
profitability, with significant implications for academics and practitioners.(Zeidan & Shapiro,
2017) highlights the point that the empirical literature shows that firms overinvest in working
capital and that these investments are economically inefficient. The results state that reductions
in the cash conversion cycle should increase shareholder value.
Cluster 4 includes research on Supply chain Management and Working capital management.
(Hofmann & Kotzab, 2010) has illustrated the role of payment terms for working capital
improvements in supply chains. The study proposes a collaborative working capital
management approach is proposed, by which the cash-to-cash cycles of companies with the
lowest weighted average cost of capital (WACC) should be extended, while companies with
higher financing costs are relieved by a shortened cash-to-cash cycle.(Huang et al., 2020) has
narrated that supply chain finance (SCF) has become a promising solutions to alleviate SMEs'
financing problem. supply chain finance (SCF) has become a promising solutions to alleviate
SMEs' financing problem, which takes advantage of supply chain integrity and relies on core
enterprises to promote SMEs' financing. (Lind et al., 2012) has used Financial value chain
analysis to examine working capital management by cycle times in the value chain of the
automotive industryhe change in cycle times of working capital is followed mainly by the
change in cycle time of inventories. the company that seeks to reduce its working capital at
the expense of its value chain partners does not become more competitive, because competition
is rather a value chain against a value chain than a company against companies.
Cluster 5 is concerned with Working capital management and SMEs.(García-Teruel&
Martínez-Solano, 2007)paper is to provide empirical evidence on the effects of working capital
management on the profitability of a sample of small and medium‐sized Spanish firms. The
results of the study demonstrate that managers can create value by reducing their inventories
and the number of days for which their accounts are outstanding. Moreover, shortening the
cash conversion cycle also improves the firm's profitability.(Baños-Caballero et al.,
2012)analyzes the relationship between working capital management and profitability for small
and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).The outcome of this study reveals a non-monotonic
(concave) relationship between working capital level and firm profitability, which indicates
that SMEs have an optimal working capital level that maximizes their profitability. (Baños-
Caballero et al., 2010b) has analyzed the determinants of the Cash Conversion Cycle (CCC)
for small- and medium-sized firms. It has been found that these firms have a target CCC length
to which they attempt to converge and that they try to adjust to their target quickly. The results
also show that it is longer for older firms and companies with greater cash flows.
Cluster 6 encompasses the studies related to Working capital management and Small
Business.(Baud & Durand, 2012) in a study that tries to examine a variety of complementary
ways of making profits implemented within the industry to satisfy impatient shareholders. The
study presents that factors like foreign expansion, financialization of assets, deterioration of
suppliers' and workers' positions, and the use of working capital management are amongst the
top ways to transform market power into financial gains.(Howorth & Westhead,
2003)discusses that small companies focus only on areas of working capital management
where they expect to improve marginal returns. The difficulties of establishing causality are
highlighted and implications for academics, policy-makers, and practitioners are reported.(Peel

et al., 2000)presents some facts about late payment and credit and working capital management
practices of small businesses operating in the United Kingdom manufacturing sector. The
results suggest that not only do small firms provide trade credit to their customers but they
often find themselves providing extended trade credit. The smaller firms had a lesser late
payment problem and their issues are partly associated with business size and with the life
cycle of the firm.
Cluster 7 is concerned withBehavioural Finance and Working capital management where the
significant contribution is from Boisjoly, Conine, Jr, and McDonald(2020),Ramiah,Zhao,
Moosa, and Graham(2016) &Ramiah V, Zhao and Moosa(2014). (Boisjoly et al.,
2020) examine the longitudinal impact from 01990 to 2017 of continuous improvement
programs and aggressive working capital practices on accounts receivable turnover, inventory
turnover, days payables outstanding, and cash conversion cycle. The results are strongest in the
transportation and communications industry and weakest in financial services(Ramiah, Zhao,
Moosa, & Graham, 2016) described the behavior of corporate treasurers who are involved in
the decision-making process in the areas of cash, inventory, accounts receivable, accounts
payable and risk management during the global financial crisis. The result depicts signs of
behavioral biases among professionals. Although the biases lead to sub-optimal decisions in
certain areas of working capital management (WCM), they can also be desirable attributes in
other aspects of WCM(Ramiah et al., 2014) the objective of the study was to document the
measures taken by Australian corporate treasurers in the areas of cash, inventory, accounts
receivable, accounts payable and risk management to survive the global financial crisis. The
findings of the study indicate that Australian working capital managers exhibit behavioral
biases, particularly overconfidence. However,the study states that more than half of the
respondents in the survey altered their working capital management practices during the crisis.
4.8 Thematic trends of working capital management
Extending on the underpinning and topic provided by co-citation analysis and bibliographic
coupling, we analysis thematic tendencies in working capital management studies using co-
occurrence analysis. Authors’ keyword are used for co-occurrence analysis. Those keyword
are subjected to a chronological filter to identify the topic development of working capital
management issues that feature in at least three articles in our review crops figure 3-6 depict
this theme progression.

Future Research Direction:
Evaluating working capital management studies in a historical context is acute for determining
present and future consequences. By examining relevant papers, this study may establish a
baseline for the burgeoning area of working capital management, which will help future
scholars to analyze the impact of working capital management and its efficiency.
A future study might look at how the most recent developments in working capital management
will help the financial managers to measure the efficiency of their business. Between the period
of1982-2012, the studies were focused on profitability and cash conversion cycle. While, the
study concentrated on the themes such profitability, firm value, corporate governance and net
trade cycle, Financial constraints trade credit from 2013-2018. The studies from 2019-2023
placed reliance on the theme such as working capital management, firm performance,financial
constraints, supply chain finance,efficiency, export, global financial crisis and financial
inclusion. Fintech is supporting businesses to enhance their supply chain and increase their
financial performance by providing newfangled solutions for payment and working capital
management.
CONCLUSION
In addition to describing institutional scholarship strengths and citation patterns and suggesting
observable co-citation networks of schools of thought, bibliometric analysis has the potential
to guide collection building. The working capital management study has visualised research
trends, theme development, and significant research. The largest biography database, the
Scopus database, was used for data extraction and analysis. The study has outlined the themes
of working capital management research for various time periods. The working capital
management journey has been described in this paper and future academic research directions.
Researchers may carry out a study on the developing field of working capital management that
could give policymakers and practitioners improved insights. In this approach, the current
study has helped to clarify the state of the field, promising areas, and potential directions for
future research in working capital management. The scope of the study is restricted to
bibliometric examination of biographical information taken solely from the Scopus database.
Therefore, since a number of high-caliber articles are only listed in one of them, the next
analysis might be conducted using merged bibliographies data from Scopus and Web of
Science. To further comprehend the research paradigm from high-quality publications, future
studies may use bibliometric analysis on SSCI and ABDC-listed publications solely.
Implications of the study:
The present study has several implications for financial managers, Small & Medium enterprise
managers, marketers, entrepreneurs, financial manager’s, academicians and scholars. They
should get inclusive acquaintance about the existing studies in this area. By possessing the
significant and protruding contributors of this research field and the motivation for becoming
vital contributors, they can access these articles to unravel the predominant academic and

literature, and future research directions which shall assist them to conduct future studies.
Likewise, it will also support the scholar to publish their work in journals with high impact
