There are a wide range of cash management topics being discussed in
university courses: public finance; venture capital and private equity
issues; changes in financial management; the impact of e-commerce on
financial management; cash management in retail companies; studies of
firms that have emerged from bankruptcy reorganizations; audit systems
in branches.
Here's what a quick look at the syllabus for books being used with
university-level courses:

Several other books that I found referenced in Financial Management
courses may also be of interest:
"The Cash Flow Challenge," Phillip Ramsden, 1997
"Contemporary Cash Management Principles, Practices, Perspective,"
Paul Beehler, 1978, John Wiley & Sons
"Managing Cash Flow," John Kelly, 1986, Watts Publishers.
Articles and case studies are often not detailed on a course syllabus,
but rather provided as part of handouts during the course. Here is a
wide range of articles referenced at different graduate business
school sites.
"Assessing post-bankruptcy performance: an analysis of reorganized
firms cash flows," Financial Management, vol 28, no. 2, Summer 1999.
"Banks define cash management vision," Corporate Finance, no. 181,
Dec., 1999
"Case studies -- EDI and electronic commerce: automating cash
applications yields dividends," Management Accounting (undated)
"Cash management: Air Liquide gagne 40MF en réorganisant sa trésorie,"
Option Finance, no. 573, Nov. 29, 1999
"Cash management: can you afford cheque fraud?" Corporate Finance, no.
114, May 1964

Option Finance, no. 452, May 20, 1997
"Cash management: the Citi never sleeps in global transaction
services: Citibank," Corporate Finance, no. 158, Jan. 1998
Of course both Harvard Business Review (HBR) articles and Harvard
cases studies are commonly used in classes. HBR has an excellent
on-line store listing both, as well as books and other products. A
search for "cash management" turns up 11 articles from the Review:
http://harvardbusinessonline.hbsp.harvard.edu/b02/en/hbr/hbr_home.jhtml
I'll list some of those closest related to cash management:
"When is there cash in cash flow?" HBR, March 1, 1987
"Strategic sourcing: to make or not to make" HBR, Nov. 1, 1992
"A small business is not a little big business," HBR, July 1, 1981
"Strategy for financial emergencies," HBR, Nov. 1, 1969
"How fast can your company afford to grow?" HBR, May 1, 2001
And case studies bring home the issues of cash management in ways that
make issues real for students and business people. Here are 6 case
studies you may find interesting. The first two are online case
studies involving companies in e-commerce and what their services mean
to retailers (QRS Corporation) or in financial services (Checkfree):
"QRS Corporation," (September 1999) Erice Marti, Stanford University
Graduate School of business
http://www.gsb.stanford.edu/cebc/pdfs/C_EC_002_QRS.pdf
"Checkfree," January 2001, Haim Mendelson and Geoffrey Adamson,
Stanford University Graduate School of business
written by Professor ...
http://www.gsb.stanford.edu/cebc/pdfs/C_EC_028_case.pdf
These are Harvard cases, orderable from the HBR on-line site:
"Cash Management Practices in Small Companies," Case 9-699-047, Dec.
4, 1998 -- most small business managers identify cash management as
their leading concern
"Financing PPL Corp.'s Growth Strategy , Case 9-202-045, Dec. 17, 2001
-- a utility seeking to finance $1billion in new plant
construction"Magnolia Mart," Case 9-276-214, June 1, 1976 -- impact of
the recession on a small discount mass merchandiser, which has a line
of credit and term loan"Managing for integrity: three vignettes," Case
9-393-154, May 24, 1993 -- decisions in whether or not to change cash
management system at a retail brokerage firm
Google search strategy:
finance + "cash management" + syllabus
If you're interested in a specific school's curriculum try. In
several cases course outlines were listed this way, though they were
not accessible through the business school's website:
finance + "cash management" + syllabus + Harvard
or as an alternate:
finance + syllabus + Wharton
An alternate way to approach is to go to the websites of the leading
Graduate business schools, then have Google search JUST the site and
not the whole World Wide Web. These schools rank at the top for
finance:
University of Chicago: http://gsb.uchicago.edu/
Harvard: http://www.hbs.edu
INSEAD: http://www.insead.edu
Wharton: http://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/
Stanford: http://www.gsb.stanford.edu
