Working Capital Management shows how business leaders and managers can continue to be successful in difficult financial times as reflected in the limited access to bank credit and other sources of short-term funds.

Working capital management is the art--and increasingly the science--of organizing a company's short-term resources to sustain ongoing activities, mobilize funds, and optimize liquidity. In this important resource, author James Sagner (a banker and consultant who has worked with myriad leading U.S. and global corporations and not-for-profit organizations) reveals how to identify and put in place an efficient and effective use of current assets and liabilities of a company throughout each phase of a business's operating cycle. Step by step, Sagner shows what it takes to plan, monitor, and manage a company's collections, disbursements, and bank account balances.
