Generally, whether the company needs to have a larger risk for the higher profitability or not, it minimizes the size of working capital related to the revenue which it operates. If it tend to better its liquidity, it means that it will increase the size of working capital. However, this method is subject to decrease the revenues and therefore it would impact the profit. Therefore, companies need to have a balance between liquidity and profitability.
