M.Com. (Financial Management) / Working capital management (WCM) is considered critical for the success of all business and especially for small businesses. A recession (such as the one that took place in 2009) complicates the working capital management of small businesses. Working capital management of a sample of small and medium enterprises in South Africa were investigated to determine how they manage their working capital during challenging economic conditions. The impact of the 2009 economic recession on WCM was specifically investigated by following a quantitative descriptive research approach. The study sample consisted of 44 companies listed on the JSE Ltd AltX Index. A trend analysis was applied on WCM variables to determine significant changes overthe study period. Because variables were not normally distributed, the Mann Whitney U test was conducted to determine the statistical significance of the WCM mean ranks pre-, during and post-recession phases. The trend analysis of working capital management over the six-year study period exhibited a significant improvement in the working capital management level during the economic recession. This was largely attributed to delaying payment to creditors. The analysis of the WCM variables pre-, during and post-recession phases indicated that there were no significant changes in WCM that can be attributed to the 2009 economic recession. It was concluded that although there were changes in working capital management over the study period, the changes could not only be attributed to the 2009 recession.

Para o cumprimento do objetivo a que este projeto se propôs, foi realizada uma análise das demonstrações financeiras referentes ao período de 2011/2018 das 14 empresas pertencentes aos segmentos citados.

A metodologia utilizada contou com uma abordagem quantitativa de caráter descritivo. Para cumprir com a finalidade proposta neste trabalho, foi realizada uma Análise de Conglomerados por meio do Método Hierárquico Aglomerativo de Ward, em seguida foram efetuados Testes de Hipóteses para Média das Diferenças a partir da técnica estatística Teste de Wilcoxon. Os resultados apontaram para uma mudança não universal na forma de associação das empresas. Desse modo, foi possível inferir, ceteris paribus, que a crise econômica brasileira influenciou na forma de associação das empresas analisadas, devido às variações positivas e negativas no saldo de tesouraria. Enquanto as organizações Biosev, Excelsior e SLC Agrícola passaram a integrar o primeiro cluster durante o período que compreendia a crise financeira, por conta da evolução nos seus respectivos saldos de tesouraria; as empresas Pomifrutas e T...

In order to achieve the objective of this project, an analysis was made of the financial statements for the 2011/2018 period of the 14 companies belonging to the mentioned segments. Such analysis was based on the use of the Fleuriet Model, or even referred to as the Dynamic Financial Analysis Model. The methodology used had a quantitative approach of descriptive character. To fulfill the purpose proposed in this work, a Cluster Analysis was performed using Ward's Agglomerative Hierarchical Method, then Hypothesis Tests for Differences Mean were performed using the Wilcoxon Test statistical technique. The results pointed to a non-universal change in the way companies associate. Thus, it was possible to infer, ceteris paribus, that the Brazilian economic crisis influenced the form of association of the companies analyzed, due to positive and negative variations in the cash balance. While the organizations Biosev, Excelsior and SLC Agrícola joined the first cluster during the financial crisis period, due to the evolution in their respective cash balances; Pomifrutas and Terra Santa companies showed a worsening in the average of the amounts related to this variable. / Mestre

Capital structure is one of the most frequent topics in the finance literature. This literature has its origins in studies of the manufacturing industry. Much of the results of this work have been applied indiscriminately to other industries without thorough validation. Only limited studies have considered financial structure in hospitality industry. The service industry is different than manufacturing industry, and even the hospitality industry is not homogeneous. The restaurant industry and lodging industry are quite different from each other. Of interest to this present study is to seek to understand how the patterns of capital structure are shaped within the context of the multi-unit casual themed restaurant industry. Restaurant industry is well known for a high bankruptcy rate. Many multi-unit restaurants exist in the casual themed restaurants strategic group in the Unites States, and many small independent restaurants are also present. The firm's strategic choice and its relationship with financial structure became a topic for my research. Publicly traded casual themed restaurants have been selected in this study. Hypothetically a common capital structure exists among firms within this strategic group. In this study, an investigation can consider the relationship among financial ratios as well as the uniqueness of the financial structure of the casual themed restaurants. / Master of Science
