Abstract

This research investigates the effects of working capital management through cash conversion cycle and its components (average receivable days - ARD, average inventory days – AID, and average payable days - APD), along with the effects of the working capital management policies on firm performance and firm value in the fisheries industry. Generalized Method of Moment (GMM) was applied with the data collected from 21 fisheries companies listed on Vietnam's stock market in the period 2008 -2012. The research found that the cash conversion cycle, average receivable days, average inventory days, and average payable days have a negative impact on firm performance (ROA) and firm value (Tobin'Q). The research results also showed that aggressive working capital policy has a negative impact, but the conservative working capital policy has a positive impact on firm performance and firm value of fisheries selected companies.
