To ensure the contribution sustain, SMEs can maintain their operation with good working capital management (WCM). A positive creation of a firm values can be contributed by a well designed and implemented WCM. The objective of the study is to investigate the factor affecting WCM of SMEs in Malaysia for the period 2010-2013 using panel data analysis.

However, there is lack of evidence to significantly relate sales growth and gross domestic product with firm’s WCM.
