INTRODUCTION

Working Capital Management always affects marketing, production, personal and other areas of

management. No areas of business unit are so ultimately reported to its other areas as the area of

Working Capital Management. For the success of every business and concern not only fair

capitalization is required, but the management of capital especially working capital is very much

important concern and its profitable operations.

Every functions of the business unit or everything that happens in the business is related to the

functional area of business as well as reported to other disciplines. It draws helpful concepts and

techniques particularly from discipline, like economics and accounting.

Capital is the nucleus around which the entire corporate sector relates and receives nourishment.

In the area of economics capital is often calculated as a capital goods consisting of machines,

plants, buildings, raw materials, goods in process etc. According to the one of the Economist,

Irving Fishier, “Capital is concerned as a sketch of wealth at an instant of time”.

Working Capital Management is concern with the problems that arise in attempting to manage

the current assets- currents liabilities and the integration ship that exist between them. The

concept of working capital was first endowed by Karl Marx in a different form and using the

term variable capital. In his views, the variable capital means the outlays for payroll is advanced

to worker to spend now before the goods they work on are complete. The variable capital is

nothing but usage fund which remains blocked in work-in-progress along with other operating

expenses until it is realized though the sale of finished goods. The concept of working capital has

changed a lot, with the evolution of business.

research as efficient as possible yielding maximum information with minimum effort, time and

money. Research design stands for advance planning of methods to be used for collecting the

relevant data and the techniques to be used in their analyses. Preparation of research design

should be done with great care as any error may upset the entire project. Therefore, it is

imperative that an efficient design must be prepared before starting research operations. The

design helps the researcher to organize his ideas in a form whereby it will be possible for him to

look for flaws and inadequacies.
