In practice, working capital management has become one of the most important issues in the organizations. The issue is vital in the manufacturing sector organizations. The impact of working capital management on profitability is investigated using 130 firm year observations covering 26 manufacturing sector listed companies in Sri Lanka. The investigation covers five years period from 2003 to 2007. No. of inventory days (ID), Accounts Receivable Days (AR), Accounts Payable Days(AP), and no. of days in cash conversion cycle (CCC) used as independent variables while profitability used as dependent variable. Correlation and regression analysis were used as measures of analysis. Results show positive relations among ID, AR, CCC and profitability. Finally, the results indicate longer cash conversion cycle increases the profitability in manufacturing sector enterprises.</span></p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal; mso-layout-grid-align: none;"><span style="font-family: "TimesNewRoman","serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRoman;" lang="EN-GB"> </span></p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="line-height: 150%; font-family: "TimesNewRoman","serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRoman;" lang="EN-GB">Key words: Working Capital Management, manufacturing sector, profitability</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="line-height: 150%; font-family: "TimesNewRoman","serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRoman;" lang="EN-GB"><span>For full paper: fmscresearch@sjp.ac.lk</span><br /></span></p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span> |
