1 EFFICIENCY OF WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT MODELS UNDER ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY
Diiashvili M.E.
Abstract: This article explores the effectiveness of various working capital management models in the context of heightened economic uncertainty. Through theoretical analysis, model classification, and industry-based evaluation, the study compares traditional static approaches with adaptive frameworks such as scenario-based planning, stochastic simulations, and real options. A conceptual model is developed to demonstrate the integration of internal and external indicators into decision-making processes. Empirical data from five industries illustrate measurable gains in liquidity, cost efficiency, and cash conversion cycle reduction linked to model sophistication. Additionally, the article identifies key enablers of successful implementation, including cross-functional integration and digital infrastructure, while also addressing model limitations and risks associated with data quality and overreliance. The findings underscore the strategic importance of selecting context-appropriate working capital models and embedding them within an agile financial management system.
Keywords: working capital management, economic uncertainty, liquidity, financial modeling, scenario analysis, stochastic simulation, real options, cash conversion cycle, operational finance, risk-informed decision-making

4 THE ROLE OF COGNITIVE FACTORS IN SHAPING INVESTMENT PREFERENCES OF CORPORATE STRUCTURES
Chulkovidze I.D.
Vartanyan O.G.
Abstract: This article provides a comprehensive examination of the role of cognitive factors in shaping investment preferences within corporate structures. Drawing on insights from behavioral economics, organizational psychology, and corporate finance, the study challenges the assumption of full rationality in institutional decision-making. It systematically categorizes cognitive biases-such as overconfidence, anchoring, framing, status quo bias, and loss aversion-and analyzes how these distortions manifest in strategic investment planning under uncertainty. The paper further explores how organizational variables, including governance structure, decision-making processes, and corporate culture, mediate the impact of these biases. Through an integrative approach, the article proposes an expanded framework of corrective mechanisms, such as standardized decision protocols, scenario-based evaluations, pre-mortem analysis, rotating committees, and decision support systems, designed to reduce behavioral distortions and enhance financial resilience. The findings emphasize that cognitive biases are not anomalies but structurally embedded tendencies in corporate behavior. Addressing them requires coordinated efforts at both the individual and institutional levels. Incorporating cognitive considerations into investment strategy and governance design improves the consistency, objectivity, and adaptability of capital allocation, especially in environments characterized by volatility, complexity, and information asymmetry.
Keywords: cognitive bias, investment decision-making, corporate finance, behavioral economics, capital allocation, governance structure, financial strategy, corrective mechanisms, risk perception, institutional behavior.
