This study investigates how public listed firms in Vietnam manage their working capital. A sample of 10 firms is used, which are among the fifty largest companies on Vietnam Stock Market. The working capital policies during 3 years from 2009 to 2011 are compared. Even though a number of studies about this topic were undertaken in many countries around the world, the understanding about what the impacts of working capital management have on the profitability is not explicit. To date there has been one study of Dong and Su (2010) examining the Vietnam listed firms. The focus in this research regarding the impacts of working capital management on firm’s profitability is done by also taking in to account that each firm of a certain industry has its own way of managing working capital. This study also gives some insight how the working capital in Vietnam is managed in order to optimal profitability.
