Cash Is King: Your Working Capital Model--Why Thinking Strategically about Cash Flow Is Key to the Long-Term Success of Your Business
by Randy Komisar John MullinsThink working capital isn't important to your business? Think again. It doesn't matter how clever your products or how keen your customers, if you haven't got working capital on hand, you'll be out of business in the blink of an eye. Some savvy entrepreneurs have sharply reduced the gross margins they need by developing working capital models that have disrupted their industries. Could you be the disrupter that does this to your industry? Or are you at risk of having this done to you? As you'll see in this chapter, working capital models form the foundation for some of today's most interesting and revolutionary business models--like Dow Jones and Costco, both profiled here. The authors demonstrate why a seemingly innocuous concept like working capital is so important and why thinking strategically about cash and cash flow is the key to keeping your business moving.

Cash Management Practices in Small Companies
by Kevin Kelly H. Kent Bowen Laurence E. Katz Andrew R. Jassy Baltej KocharMost small business managers claim that cash management is their leading concern. Often walking a tightrope between growth and illiquidity, small business managers face different cash management challenges than their counterparts in larger companies. Compared to larger firms, small businesses often have under-staffed and under-trained accounting staffs, volatile cash flows dependent on a single product line, limited access to new capital, and a significant share of their net worth tied up in working capital. These limitations are often compounded by management's focus on growth, which can put additional pressure on the cash management system by increasing net working capital requirements.
Cash Transfers and Basic Social Protection
by Moritz Von GliszczynskiThe author offers a ground-breaking analysis of the political discourses that facilitated the rise of cash transfers as instruments of development policy since the 1990s. Using an innovative theoretical framework, von Gliszczynski gives a broad, yet detailed, overview of the history of basic social protection in global policy and identifies discursive shifts that radically changed the perception of cash transfers in global policy. His in-depth analysis of political discourses illustrates inhow far the career of cash transfers was part of a 'development revolution' and shows to what extent the ideas behind development policy have truly changed. By demonstrating that cash transfers are part of a specifically developmental model of social protection, this book also sheds light on potential future directions of social policy in the Global South.
Cash Transfers for Inclusive Societies: A Behavioral Lens (Behaviorally Informed Organizations)
by Dilip Soman Jiaying Zhao Saugato DattaThe latest title in the Behaviourally Informed Organizations series offers practical advice on how best to successfully design, deliver, and evaluate efficient cash transfer programs, with a view to alleviating poverty. While much progress has been made in reducing poverty worldwide – especially in the pre-pandemic era – it is fair to say that an unacceptably large proportion of the world’s people still live in poverty. Cash Transfers for Inclusive Societies sheds light on the widely prevalent cash transfer programs. The book asks these central questions: What is the state of the art in the development of welfare programs? What do we know works in these programs and what does not? How can an understanding of behavioral science better inform the design, delivery, and evaluation of welfare programs? The latest title in the Behaviourally Informed Organizations series, the book develops a nuanced framework for how governments, practitioners, and society in general should design cash transfer programs to improve inclusivity, reduce poverty, and improve equality. It draws on field experiments and case studies to showcase past successes, while also building frameworks and developing prescriptive advice that we can give to practitioners who are looking to design a behaviorally informed cash transfer program. With contributions from leading academics as well as seasoned practitioners, Cash Transfers for Inclusive Societies presents a new model to policymakers to study and shift the discourse on poverty alleviation from purely economic factors to also behavioral ones.

Cash Transfers in Context: An Anthropological Perspective
by Jean-Pierre Olivier de Sardan Emmanuelle PiccoliMarginal in status a decade ago, cash transfer programs have become the preferred channel for delivering emergency aid or tackling poverty in low-and middle-income countries. While these programs have had positive effects, they are typical of top-down development interventions in that they impose on local contexts standardized norms and procedures regarding conditionality, targeting, and delivery. This book sheds light on the crucial importance of these contexts and the many unpredicted consequences of cash transfer programs worldwide - detailing how the latter are used by actors to pursue their own strategies, and how external norms are reinterpreted, circumvented, and contested by local populations.
