Title: Managing Capital Resources and Their Impact on Business Operations
Introduction
The phenomenon of managing capital resources is prominent in today's world and has emerged in various fields. Despite the concerns surrounding international capital flows, developing countries have continuously sought to attract them. They have pursued economic restructuring and implemented comprehensive economic reform policies to achieve stability in areas such as public budgeting and balance of payments. This is all aimed at integrating into the global economy to secure their share of international investments within the framework of global trade. Many developing countries have also liberalized their capital accounts as part of economic reforms towards a market economy. The main justification for liberalizing financial flows with the outside world and integrating into global trade dynamics lies in their positive role in economic growth by achieving various benefits such as efficient allocation of savings, redirecting resources towards more productive uses, facilitating portfolio diversification and risk sharing, reducing transaction costs, improving returns, specializing in financial services, providing innovation incentives, and enhancing productivity. Therefore, international capital flows, if well utilized and regulated, can play a significant role in developing the economy and trade of recipient countries.
Within this context, businesses are turning to capitalize on capital resources at the managerial level by activating what is termed "Capital Resource Management" within these entities. This, in turn, will contribute to increasing the profits of these entities and avoiding the risks of loss.
