Some related data shows that during the July to September period, the US economic grew at an annualized rate of 2%. The US government makes clear their attitude is that they will take the initiative to develop their economy. Their strategy is through the US purchase domestic bonds, they can inject fresh money into their economy. But economic recovery is not represent unemployment rate is decreased.

Personal commentary Herbane et al,(1997) argues that BCP (Business Continuity plan) is that explore organizational external and internal threats and synthesize hard and soft assets to provide effective recovery for the organization. From the view of business continuity plan, the US adopts single solution, the purchase of the government bonds can lead to the economic growth has picked up evidently in the short term. But from the long term, economic problem is not solved far away. Firstly, the US economy is hard to get rid of finance crisis environment. Banking industry and enterprises group has not recovered their economic benefit. Thus a lot of enterprises have not enough money to provide a best working environment for their workers, and even some enterprises have to shut down, because their capital has not enough to go round. So a lot of workers are in danger of losing their job in the present financial crisis. Secondly, the purchase of the government bonds can lead to negative effects, such as the devaluation of the currency and inflation. The devaluation of the currency and inflation seriously effect on people’s life standard, and it does not solve people’s employment problems. Although this kind of business continuity plan brings some negative effects on people’s work and life, people also cannot ignore it plays a positive role in economy. Because this kind of business continuity plan boost up people’s confidence, it makes people can plunge into their work with immense zeal.

In addition, according to Andrew Hiles (2007) argues that the most successful approach about business continuity plan is that it pays attention to details and choose some small sections at time. From the view of risk management, risk management can put forward the method of decreasing the risk to the extreme extent for managers. Thus from the point of business continuity plan, the US government can adopt different ways to solve this problem. Andrew Hiles (2007) reports that “one of the objectives of the BCP (Business Continuity Plan) is that minimize the impact of a disaster on an organizational.” For example, the government can develop some new projects to give an impetus to trade, and let some enterprises can get great profit from these new projects. At the same time, these enterprises can recruit more staffs during the process of new projects. Moreover, the US government can have adjustable rate mortgages and tighten controls on banking industry. This kind of business continuity plan helps some enterprises have good credit rating and let them easy to get more money to develop their business. At the same time, banking industry also supervise some bad credit enterprises abuse their power to borrow money from bank. Thus, the US government could adopt diversification strategy to improve US economy. Through take advantage of business continuity plan to help organization improve and recover their economy.
