The Impact of Practices in Working Capital Management and Supply Chain Management on Corporate Performance

This study empirically investigates the relationships among the four most common supply chain management practices (supplier partnership, customer relationship, information sharing, and lean system), net trade cycle, and financial performance. It has been found that all the investigated supply chain management practices, apart from customer relationship, that are mediated by the net trade cycle have significant influences on financial performance. Moreover, the three supply chain management practices (supplier partnership, information sharing, and lean system) and net trade cycle are found to have significant influences on the financial performance; consequently, this study's outcomes can be recommended to production managers who may well assign resources to enhance these practices to get the best outcomes.
