Aslında çalışma sermayesi ve  kârlılık arasında doğrusal bir ilişki olduğuna dair  bulgular teoriyle ters düşmektedir. Çünkü finans  teorisine göre çalışma sermayesinin azlığı  işletmenin faaliyetlerini aksatacak ve kârlılığı  olumsuz etkileyecektir. Ancak çalışma  sermayesinin fazlalığı da kaynakların atıl kalması  nedeniyle, kârlılığı azaltmaktadır. Nitekim  özellikle son zamanlardaki yayınlarda çalışma  sermayesi ve kârlılık ilişkisinin doğrusal olmadığı  ve bir optimal çalışma sermayesi büyüklüğü  bulunduğu yönünde önemli bulgular  raporlanmaktadır.  Bu çalışmada çalışma sermayesi ve kârlılık  arasındaki ilişki Uyarlanabilir Sinirsel Bulanık  Çıkarım Sistemi  Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference  System – ANFIS  ile modellenerek, görsel bir  şekilde gün yüzüne çıkartılmıştır. Elde edilen  bulgular, çalışma sermayesi ve kârlılık ilişkisinin  doğrusal olmadığını göstermektedir. Çalışmada  veri seti olarak Borsa İstanbul’da 2000-2013  yılları arasında işlem gören işletmeler yer  almaktadır.</p></abstract>

                            <p>The pioneering research on working capital  were carried out using techniques such as  correlation and linear regression analysis and  many of these research studies have reported  that there is a negative relationship between  working capital and profitability. In fact, studies  search for a linear relationship between working  capital and profitability, contradicts the theory.  Because according to financial theory, lack of  working capital is hampering the operations of  the business. Therefore, profitability is reduced.  However, again according to the theory, in  excess of working capital due to remain idle  resources it will adversely affect profitability.  Indeed, recent publications on the relationship  between working capital and profitability is  reported that there is a non-linear relationship  and indicates the optimal size of working capital.  This research study aims to explore the  relationship instead of looking for a linear  relationship between capital and profitability.  Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System for the  Detection  ANFIS  is used. Results are non-linear  relationship of working capital and profitability  reveals. The study used a data set of enterprises  listed at the stock exchange in Borsa Istanbul  between the years 2000-2013.</p></trans-abstract>
