Talk:Cash management

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

While it may be true that

In United States banking, cash management, or treasury management, is a marketing term for certain services offered primarily to larger business customers.

it is also true that cash management is the business function of actively managing cash as one might manage other inventories.

Would it be useful to have a separate page for the business activity of cash management (Baumol's model, optimizing float, Miller & Orr, etc.)? Or is it better to just lump everything into this one article? Anyone have an opinion? --Sciprogrammer 01:47, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

I'd say separate articles. BTW, this article has skimpy information about how the role of float in cash management (I'm also thinking that Check 21 has promulgated some changes on float in cash management). Anyway, this article needs to represent more of a world view, rather than from the view of U.S. operations, since I was wondering as I read the article whether the content reflected primarily lockbox operations in the U.S. So, I don't know whether this information is consistent with how lockbox operations operate in other countries. If mention of Baumol's model, float optimization et al. are included in the article, they yes...these topics would require separate pages, since the inclusion of this information might not be entirely clear to a reader in the context of how the Cash Management article is written currently. →Lwalt ^♦ talk 03:17, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
