This book integrates Working Capital Management, Trade Credit, and
Supply-Chain Finance in a comprehensive framework, illustrated by
dozens of case studies, including a leading case which explains how
improved working capital practices have led to over U$1 billion in
savings for a large company. The General Model of Working Capital
Management consolidates the aspects of these subjects spread across
different disciplines, such as finance, accounting, operations,
marketing, and more. It includes enough material to make the book
accessible to a broad audience, from introductory undergraduate
courses to business executives. Offering managerial lessons to
optimize companies' cash flow, case studies run the whole gamut,
from the small business owner who cried in an executive class when
realizing how bad working capital management almost destroyed his
business to the significance of Amazon's and Tesco's negative cash
conversion cycle for their expansion. Formal models include the
relationship between market power and value extraction through
changes in payment terms for consumers and suppliers, in-kind
finance, and trade credit with asymmetric competing retailers. The
book also explores how just-in-time strategies developed under
capital constraints to limit working capital investments; they are
more than the search for production efficiency. Finally, the
chapter about the greening of supply chains describes how companies
that can extract resources from their supply chain or act as trade
credit lenders have a crucial role in mitigating climate change.
