REASONS OF NEW APPROACH
(Shift from Production Management to Operation Management)

In 1993, Prime Minister Narasim Rao’s Government signed the General Tariffs & Trade Agreement (GATT) with W.T.O. USA.

Due to this, Government took the following measures for liberalisation of Industry in our country.

1) Heavy Reduction in Import Duty.
2) Foreign Equity Participation.
3) Elimination of Industrial Licensing System.
4) Encouraging Monetary and fiscal policy.
5) Introduction of SEBI and other financial measures.

All above resulted into import of equipment, raw materials, components etc. very low prices. Also their features, specification quality etc. are far superior than indigenous products. Products are readily available with goods service back up.

Above has totally changed the business environment of the Country. This has compelled indigenous manufacturer for quick changing of products with very low prices as well as competitive quality. Hence the traditional production system was required to be re-oriented to fast moving demand for the products. This alignment of production system viz-a-viz realignment of HR Finance Marketing is called operation management.

    Over the years there have been numerous articles written about the importance of working capital management regarding the profitability of a firm (Shin and Soenen, 1998; Deloof, 2003; Garcia-Tereul and Martinez- Solano, 2007; Raheman and Nasr, 2007; Mathuva, 2009; Dong and Su, 2010). Various authors have conducted researches in different countries on employing working capital in an optimal way in order to pursue profitability. But some authors still have different findings on how working capital management in terms of cash conversion cycle and its components such as number of day‟s inventories, number of day‟s accounts receivable and number of days accounts payable are related to the profitability of a firm. Deloof (2003), who conducted his study on Belgian firms, suggests that working capital management has a vital effect on the profitability of a firm. He also states that firms have to make a trade-off between liquidity and profitability. Similarly, Raheman and Nasr (2007) posit that a company has to determine the equilibrium between liquidity and profitability because increasing profits at the expense of the liquidity of the firm can be harmful in terms of insolvency and bankruptcy of the firm. Accordingly, the three components of the cash conversion cycle are each managed in different ways to improve the profitability. This is due to firm specific (industry-wise) with different characteristics. Each of the researchers that have conducted case studies in different countries found different results on how the profitability of a firm is related to the cash conversion cycle and its three components. As far as is known, there has been no study on the effect of working capital on the profitability in Dutch firms. It is in this consideration that the research plan in this paper will be directed to the following research question: “What is the relationship between the working capital management components and profitability within Dutch listed firms?”…

    BACKGROUND: Increased financial pressures on hospitals have elevated the importance of working capital management, that is, the management of current assets and current liabilities, for hospitals' profitability. Efficient working capital management allows hospitals to reduce their holdings of current assets, such as inventory and accounts receivable, which earn no interest income and require financing with short-term debt. The resulting cash inflows can be reinvested in interest-bearing financial instruments or used to reduce short-term borrowing, thus improving the profitability of the organization.…
