  • This study examines the impact of net working capital (NWC) management on the profitability of 26 energy companies listed on the Vietnamese stock exchange for the period from 2012 to 2021. The author uses annual panel data, and the Feasible Generalized Least Squares (FGLS) method is subsequently conducted to deal with the phenomena of heteroscedasticity and autocorrelation. Regression results from the FGLS method show that Day sales outstanding (DSO), Day inventory outstanding (DIO), and the Cash convention cycle (CCC) have statistically significant negative impacts on profitability (ROE). The number of days payable outstanding (DPO) has a statistically significant positive impact on profitability (ROE). In contrast, the current ratio (CR) does not. According to the findings of this study, energy companies should apply an optimal and efficient method for managing the factors that negatively impact profits in net working capital management to generate high business profits.

    • The militaries played an essential role in the political life of Turkey.Namely, they intensively interfered with it for they appeared the most active defenders of the Kemalism idea. It is true that the Republic of Turkey is a secular country, but the vast majority of its population are Muslim. Hence, shortly after Mustafa Kemal’s death, Muslim political parties came to the fore, trying more and more intensely to establish themselves in the politics of the country and, consequently, to limit secularism. The Turkish military servicemen could not tolerate the Muslim parties attempting to seize power. As faithful defenders of the Kemalist ideology, they often overthrew such governments. Similar casestook placefour times in Turkey in the last century. Turkey's“Justice and Development Party” (AKP) which is the ruling party nowadays, represents a moderate Islam follower. Therefore, the leader of the party, President of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan tried to restrict the militaries yet in 2011, and hepartially suceeded. In 2016, when the lastattempted military coup, the Turkish militaries failed. One of the reasons for this is a thought as if the Turkish president knew about the attempted military coup in advance and he needed it to limit the Turkish militaries. Too shortly after the attempted coup, many high-ranked military officials (including doctors, teachers) were arrested or fired form their working places. After that, the attempted coup by the Turkish military was almost neutralized and in this way the "threat" to Erdogan's government was eliminated.

    • Zombie firms are those that can only operate normally withcontinuous support from banks and governments. It occupies a large amount of social resources and has a crowding-out effect on other firms through unfair competition means, which is not conducive to the development of other new market players. Accurate identification of zombie firms and acceleration of exit from the market at the best time may contribute to protecting the interests of employees and creditors, reducing the burden of governments and banks, and better allocation of social resources. This paper identifies 20 listed companies in the iron and steel industry during 2014-2018. We find that the number of zombie firms decreased in 2014-2016, while the number of zombie firms increased in 2016-2018. Finally, we propose the following suggestions from three perspectives of the formation, identification, and selection of four different exit paths for zombie firms.In terms of the formation of zombie firms, enterprises should cooperate with governments and banks to achieve de-zombization from the root cause of zombie firms. In terms of the identification of zombie firms, regulators should continuously improve the identification method based on local conditions. In terms of exit path selection, the appropriate exit path should be selected according to the actual development of the enterprises to maximize the interests of all related parties.
