| 總結: | This study investigates the effect of working capital management on SMEs
profitability in Malaysia using a sample of 66 SME manufacturing firms covering
from 2006 until 2012. Ordinary least square (OLS) regression is used to estimate the
relationship between the independent and dependent variables. The results show that,
there is negative relationship between working capital management measures i.e.
days account receivables (DAR), inventory turnover in days (ITID), and cash
conversion cycle (CCC) and SMEs profitability proxies i.e. return on assets (ROA)
and return on equity (ROE) except for net operating profit (NOP) which is having
positive effect with CCC. Furthermore, the study shows that there is positive
relationship between days account payables (DAP) and SMEs profitability measured
by (ROA and ROE) but having a negative relation with NOP. The results imply that
Profitability of SME manufacturing firms depends upon effective working capital
management. Therefore, this study suggests that SME manufacturing companies can
improve their profitability by managing working capital properly. |
