Abstract

Amidst intensifying global competition and the accelerating digital transformation, corporate working capital management has evolved from an isolated financial function into a collaborative supply chain-oriented process. This paper explores the working capital management approaches of Company S, a prominent global smart hardware manufacturer, in the context of changing global industrial chains and digital technologies. It emphasizes the transition from conventional internal optimization to supply chain integration, highlighting the integration of resources through core enterprises to improve capital efficiency. An analysis of Company S’s working capital trends between 2020 and 2024 shows fluctuating assets and liabilities, indicating operational challenges. The company encounters procurement difficulties due to supplier payment requirements, production complexities from innovation investments, and extended sales cycles from credit policies. Major challenges include excessive inventory buildup and liquidity constraints. To tackle these issues, the paper suggests implementing just-in-time inventory, predictive analytics, flexible supplier payment terms, and supply chain diversification. It stresses the importance of supply chain strategies, such as integration and financial innovation, to enhance working capital resilience and operational stability in volatile markets, providing valuable insights for companies facing global complexities.
