THE BIBLIOMETRIC MAPPING OF STUDIES ON CASH POLICIES

This study aims to analyse the academic literature on cash holding, cash management and cash policies of firms using bibliometric method. While cash holding policies play a critical role in firms' liquidity management, they are affected by external factors such as economic fluctuations, financial constraints and geopolitical risks. Cash management and related strategies are one of the cornerstones of firms' efforts to achieve sustainable growth, investment decisions and financial flexibility. In this context, bibliometric analysis will be used to examine the distribution of publications in the field, the most influential authors, institutions and countries, keywords used and thematic trends. The study will be based on publications obtained from international databases such as Web of Science and Scopus. The findings have the potential to guide future research by systematising the existing body of knowledge in the field. This study is expected to make valuable contributions in terms of identifying new research areas that combine theory and practice in cash management and policies, and providing implications for researchers working in this field and policy makers.
