Theoretical Approaches to Understanding of Global Economic Crisis of 2008

While trying to understand the varying causes that brought the global financial system to its knees, it is hard to point out a finger at a single failure. By looking at the reasons of financial meltdown from different theoretical views it becomes easier to understand that the fault lies with many. Minsky’s view of inherent instability in capitalistic economies is understandable but Marx’s extreme interpretation of capitalism does not help the crisis in detail. While on one hand, monetarists are keen on controlling the money supply, Keynesians tend to favour national intervention blaming low aggregate demand over the crisis. Measures are being taken by the governments across the world by stimulating their economies’ aggregate demand in order to divert the recession. These steps indicate a revival of old-fashioned Keynesian macroeconomics which currently stands out as ‘the best theoretical view in understanding the current financial crisis.

BUSINESS-OPERATIONAL CONTINUITY PLANNING

ABSTRACT U.S. federal and state regulations require industry to develop and maintain detailed crisis and emergency response plans. These plans are, for the most part, well thought out and detailed. As a result, along with extensive training and exercise programs, industry preparedness is better than it has ever been to respond to and manage an emergency. But how well prepared is industry to handle the business or operational continuity aspects of a crisis or emergency? What plans are in place to deal with the requirement for continuing essential business functions in the face of a disaster? If a major incident occurs to a refinery, terminal, or offshore production platform that requires it to be taken off-line, or damages it beyond repair, are there plans in place to minimize the impacts on the rest of the organization and on the downstream customers? How will this be done simultaneously while managing the response? This paper addresses those needs and discusses the requirements that companies in the oil and chemical industry should consider in developing business and operational continuity plans. It explains a multi-step planning process that is being used by many companies around the world to maintain their business edge when a crisis or disaster strikes. This planning process includes such functions as conducting a risk analysis and business impact analysis, developing mitigation and recovery strategies, drafting a continuity plan, developing an awareness program, and building a training and exercising program. The paper also looks at the similarities between business and operational continuity plans and a company's emergency or crisis management plan and address ways in which the plans may be integrated.
