Abstract

Our study is a thematic analysis of the literature on working capital, with the aim of presenting recent research and interpretations of working capital management. In the second half of the paper, we will illustrate the assessments of capital adequacy and working capital efficiency and their results, based on our own data collection, in comparison with the findings in the literature.
