    Citation

    Working capital is considered to be the life-giving factor to an economic entity. Moreover, an


    efficient working capital is one of the pre-conditions for the achievement of an organization.
    (Mukhopadhyay, 2004). As Eljelly (2004) claimed that working capital is a significant force for keeping a
    business alive and functioning. To avoid the risk of incapacity to meet the short term obligation and
    prevent excessive investment in short term assets, a firm requires to manage their working capital
    efficiently. In fact,working capital management (WCM) is substantial for creating value for shareholders
    (Shin &Soenen, 1998). Panda (2012) further analyzed that long-term survival of a firm depends on
    efficient management of working capital. Therefore, it is essential to maintain a firm liquidity status more
    carefully and cautiously. According toSingh and Kumar (2017)a firm has to maintain a proper level of
    investment in working capital to avoid the uncertain cash inflow and outflow situation. Suitable liquidity
    and profitability scenarios are the main two objectives of WCM but not at the cost of one another. Thus,
    each enterprise should sustain a trade-off between these two objectives to enhance the efficiency of
    WCM.
    However, there is a massive debate in the existing literature as to whether high or low levels of
    working capital are best for firms. In light of that note Afrifa andpadachi (2016) established that the
    nature of the relationship between working capital level and firm profitability depends on the particular
    WCM approach preferred by a firm.

    Practices of working capital management vary from industry to industry. According to Filbeck
    and Krueger (2005) significant differences exist among industries in working capital practices overtime.
    However, limited access in the long term capital market force small medium size enterprise (SMEs) to
    depends highly on WCM (Chittenden, 1998; Saccurato, 1994).More recently, Harsh Partap Singh* and
    Satish Kumar (2017)confirm that profitability of firm and sales growth are positively related to Working
    Capital Requirements (WCR). Yet, they also pointed out that financial leverage, operating cash flow and
    asset tangibility are found to be negatively related to WCR. Interestingly, a study performed by Banos-
    Caballero et al. (2010) explored a significant negative effect of asset tangibility, financial leverage,

    profitability and sales growth on the length of the cash conversion cycle. They also established that there
    is a significant negative connection of the cash conversion cycle (CCC) with cash flow and the age of a
    firm.
