Abstract

The article analyzes the relationship between working capital, as one of the value drivers, and the value of the company. It focuses on the synthesis of the conclusions of empirical studies of the relationship between working capital and various corporate indicators, such as profit, profitability, but also, for example, corporate indebtedness. The subject of research is also the relationship between working capital and industry and working capital and the size of the company. The relationship between the volume of working capital and the need for investment (existence of investment opportunities) also proves to be significant. The results of domestic and foreign studies from recent years are synthesized. The article can serve financial managers for a more comprehensive understanding of the management of working capital - ie how it impacts the growth and performance of the company. However, it is also intended for valuation professionals for the purpose of preparing the business plan for the DCF method.
