ABSTRACT:
This study is to analyze kèo nhà cái w88 working capital management efficiency of plastic companies in Vietnam by analyzing financial statements of 31 listed plastics companies from 2015 to 2019. In this study, working capital management effectiveness is evaluated by three indexes includingPerformance index of working capital management(PI), Utilization index of working capital management (UI), and Efficiency index of working capital management (EI). kèo nhà cái w88 study’s results indicate that kèo nhà cái w88 majority of listed plastic companies had goodUtilization index of working capital management. Meanwhile, only nearly half of businesses had good Performance index of working capital management andEfficiency index of working capital managementin this period.
Keywords:Performance index of working capital management, utilization index of working capital management, efficiency index of working capital management.
1. Introduction
Working capital managementis one of kèo nhà cái w88 important financial management activities of firms. Researchers Amajad & Hussain (2014) emphasized kèo nhà cái w88 importance of working capital management by stating: “Many companies fail due to lack of appropriate working capital management methods”. This implies that working capital management policies are precisely what is required for kèo nhà cái w88 survival of a company. Adu (2013) argued that proper working capital management is essential for any company and that is kèo nhà cái w88 reason why it has become a metric for determining a company's performance. Mun and Jang (2015) stated that working capital plays an important role in kèo nhà cái w88 day-to-day operation of kèo nhà cái w88 business to ensure that kèo nhà cái w88 business operates smoothly. Similarly, Mwangi et al. (2014) suggested that kèo nhà cái w88 important elements of working capital should be managed in parallel by organizations if they are successful. Other researchers believe that working capital plays a key role compared to capital budget and financial decisions (Agyei & Yeboah, 2011; Mun & Jang, 2015). This means companies must have effective working capital management in order to improve kèo nhà cái w88 company's performance. Additionally, many empirical studies explored kèo nhà cái w88 relationship between working capital management and kèo nhà cái w88 profitability of businesses. Moreover, effective working capital management improves firm’s performance.
In Vietnam, kèo nhà cái w88 plastic industry is increasingly playing an important role in kèo nhà cái w88 life. Plastics or polymers are used as materials to produce many kinds of items as well as serving kèo nhà cái w88 development of many other economic sectors such as electricity, electronics, telecommunications, transportation, fisheries, and agriculture. By 2019, kèo nhà cái w88 scale of kèo nhà cái w88 plastic industry is estimated at USD 15 billion, equivalent to 6.7% of Vietnam's GDP in kèo nhà cái w88 same period (FPTS,2019). However, previous studies on working capital management conducted in food and pharmaceutical companies and there is no research on working capital management in plastic enterprises. In addition, in previous studies, authors usually used conventional ratios to evaluate kèo nhà cái w88 effectiveness of working capital management such as: working capital ratio, current ratio, quick ratio, cash conversion cycle, inventory conversion period and receivables conversion period. Performance index of working capital management, utilization index of working capital management and efficiency index of working capital management have not used to evaluate kèo nhà cái w88 effectiveness of working capital management in Vietnam. For these reasons, kèo nhà cái w88 purpose of this paper is to analyze working capital management efficiency in selected plastic companies with these three indexes.
2. Literature Review
Many studies have shown that effective working capital management contributes to firms’ success. Deloof (2003) found a significant negative relationship between kèo nhà cái w88 receivables turnover ratio, kèo nhà cái w88 inventory turnover ratio as well as kèo nhà cái w88 payables turnover ratio of Belgian firms and profitability. Similarly, Eljelly (2004) found a negative relationship between firms' profitability and liquidity. Moreover Padachi (2006) studied small manufacturing enterprises in Mauritius for kèo nhà cái w88 period 1998-2003 and kèo nhà cái w88 analytical results showed that accounts receivable, accounts payable, and cash conversion cycle were negatively related to ROA (statistical significance at kèo nhà cái w88 5% level). Lazaridis and Tryfonnidis (2006) also found a significant relationship between profitability and kèo nhà cái w88 cash conversion cycle as well as its components (accounts receivable, payables and inventories).
Afza and Nazir (2011) used kèo nhà cái w88 Bhattacharya’s indexes (1997) to examine kèo nhà cái w88 working capital management efficiency of kèo nhà cái w88 cement firms in Pakistan for kèo nhà cái w88 period from 1988 to 2008. kèo nhà cái w88 study found that kèo nhà cái w88 cement firms under this study have good working capital management efficiency during kèo nhà cái w88 period. After that, Press, Valipour and Jamshidi (2012) also used kèo nhà cái w88 Bhattacharya’s indexes to evaluate working capital management efficiency. kèo nhà cái w88 study found that there is positive relationship between performance index, efficient index, and utilization index with kèo nhà cái w88 efficiency of kèo nhà cái w88 asset. However, kèo nhà cái w88 results show that cash conversion cycle inversely significant relationship on efficiency of kèo nhà cái w88 assets.
kèo nhà cái w88 research is motivated by previous studies and limited research from kèo nhà cái w88 plastic enterprises in Vietnam. This study thus examines working capital management effectiveness of plastic firms in Vietnam by using kèo nhà cái w88 Bhattacharya’s indexes.
3. Methodology
In order to analyze working capital management efficiency of plastic companies in Vietnam. A sample of 41 listed plastic companies was taken from HOSE and HNX stock exchanges databases for kèo nhà cái w88 period 2015-2019. However only 31 companies with complete financial data were selected for analysis. Data are extracted from kèo nhà cái w88 company's annual financial statements.
To measure kèo nhà cái w88 effectiveness of working capital management, this study used kèo nhà cái w88 index developed by Bhattacharya (1997). This study differs from previous research by using a sample-based index that has not been previously tested in Vietnam.
Bhattacharya developed a model for measuring and monitoring kèo nhà cái w88 efficiency of working capital management which is similar to cost management. If there is a more than proportionate rise in current assets with kèo nhà cái w88 increase in sales, kèo nhà cái w88 costs of an enterprise also increase, both in terms of blockage of additional funds and kèo nhà cái w88 interest. A firm cannot be said to have an efficient working capital management if it is registering a more than proportionate rise in current assets. Modern day financial management aims at reducing kèo nhà cái w88 level of current assets without, of course, ignoring kèo nhà cái w88 risk of stock outs, etc. This is similar to that of cost management, where quality cannot be sacrificed at kèo nhà cái w88 expense of reducing costs. kèo nhà cái w88 model for measuring kèo nhà cái w88 efficiency of working capital management is as follows:

kèo nhà cái w88 ability of kèo nhà cái w88 firm to utilize kèo nhà cái w88 current assets for kèo nhà cái w88 purpose of generating income |
|
Utilization Index of working capital management (UIWCM) |
A = Current assets / Sales |
This index measures to what degree kèo nhà cái w88 working capital of kèo nhà cái w88 firm has been utilized to generate sales |

Utilization Index:According to kèo nhà cái w88 results in table 2, most companies were selected (24 out of 31 companies) effectively used their existing assets. kèo nhà cái w88 utilization indexes are greater than 1. For instance, An Tien plastics company’s average utilization index is 1.53 (1). Only 7 companies have bad utilization index such as Pha Le plastics company, Sadico Can Tho company, Plastic bags company with their utilization indexes are less than 1. However, kèo nhà cái w88 lowest index is approximately 1.
Performance Index:In general, in kèo nhà cái w88 period 2015-2019, there are 14 companies which working capital management is managed properly with kèo nhà cái w88 performance index greater than 1. Notably, Tan Phu plastics company has average performance index of 1.79 ( 1) and kèo nhà cái w88 highest index that kèo nhà cái w88 company gained is 5.5. However, there are some companies with low performance index like Danang Plastic company with kèo nhà cái w88 mean value of PI is 0.62. These figures indicate that kèo nhà cái w88 revenue generated by this company is less than kèo nhà cái w88 amount of working capital used.
Efficiency Index:According to kèo nhà cái w88 table 2, kèo nhà cái w88 results show 15 out of kèo nhà cái w88 total 31 selected companies have effective working capital management with efficiency index greater than 1. Typically, Tan Phu plastics company, Tan Tien plastics company and Saigon plastics company have highest efficiency index (1.82, 1.28 and 1.22 respectively). kèo nhà cái w88 remaining companies have bad efficiency index with EI less than 1 such as Danang plastics company (EI is 0.62), Dong A plastics company (EI is 0.73) and Hanel plastics company (EI is 0.74). kèo nhà cái w88 results show that these companies are not using working capital effectively.
In general, kèo nhà cái w88 three indexes of working capital management efficiency show that listed companies in kèo nhà cái w88 plastic industry have uneven efficiency levels. While there are many enterprises with very good working capital management efficiency such as Tan Phu plastics company, Tan Tien plastics company and Saigon fishing net company (All these firms have 3 indexes PI, UI and EI greater than 1). In contrast, there are also companies have poor working capital management with all 3 indexes less than 1 like Vinh Khanh Plastics company.
5. Conclusion
This study analyses kèo nhà cái w88 efficiency of working capital management in kèo nhà cái w88 listed plastic companies for kèo nhà cái w88 period from 2015 to 2020. Working capital management efficiency is assessed by kèo nhà cái w88 working capital management efficiency index. For analysis purposes, 31 out of 40 listed plastics companies were selected. kèo nhà cái w88 analytical results show that UI indexes of listed plastics companies are very good in this study period with kèo nhà cái w88 average value of 24 out of 31companies greater than 1. PI index shows that 14 out of 31 companies achieve a mean value greater than 1. In terms of kèo nhà cái w88 EI, kèo nhà cái w88 results show that 15 out of 31 companies achieve a mean value greater than 1. Actual results have shown that kèo nhà cái w88 efficiency of working capital management is very different between companies in kèo nhà cái w88 plastic industry (about nearly 50% of enterprises achieving good results while kèo nhà cái w88 remaining companies have not achieved kèo nhà cái w88 expected results). This result may provide alarming signals for many plastic enterprises in Vietnam and these enterprises have to improve their working capital management to enhance their firm performance.

Nghiên cứu này nhằm phân tích hiệu quả quản lý vốn lưu động của các công ty nhựa tại Việt Nam thông qua phân tích báo cáo tài chính của 31 công ty nhựa được niêm yết trên sàn chứng khoán từ năm 2015 đến năm 2019. Trong nghiên cứu này, hiệu quả quản lý vốn lưu động được đánh giá thông qua ba chỉ số bao gồm Chỉ số năng lực quản lý vốn lưu động (PI), Chỉ số hiệu dụng quản lý vốn lưu động (UI) và Chỉ số hiệu quả quản lý vốn lưu động (EI). Kết quả cho thấy phần lớn các công ty nhựa được niêm yết có chỉ số hiệu dụng quản lý vốn lưu động ở mức tốt. Trong khi đó, chỉ có gần một nửa số doanh nghiệp được phân tích có chỉ số năng lực quản lý vốn lưu động và chỉ số hiệu quả quản lý vốn lưu động ở mức tốt trong giai đoạn này.
