The efficiency of working capital management is being measured by using both ratio analysis and trend analysis on the Profitability of the firm. Results indicate that working capital management affects profitability of firms and inventory and receivables are most significant. This study highlights the importance of adequate working capital policy as a tool for managing liquidity and profitability in cyclic industry environment.
