Mr Watson virtually presented his and Prof Struwig’s joint research paper titled “Working capital management research in South Africa during the COVID-19 pandemic”. The purpose of the study was to provide a critical analysis of working capital management research in South Africa during the COVID-19 pandemic.
This research uses 5 stages to investigate working capital management research and critically analyse and propose ways to deal with working capital management during each stage. The 5 stages deal with the following:
Stage 1: The global recession of 2009
Stage 2: Managing working capital during the pandemic
Stage 3: Working capital management during extreme change
Stage 4: Working capital management post pandemic
Stage 5: Managing working capital in the new economic order
