After reading through Chapter 16 regarding managing global operations and the cash conversion cycle, I understand that the cash conversion cycle or CCC expresses the time it takes for a company to covert their investments into inventory. I know that the CCC is also an important tool in determining how efficient a company is at turning their inventory into sales and then into cash. The question I have from this section is how does the cash conversion cycle affect working capital and what is the relationship between the two?
