SUMMARY:International Business Webinar -- Seeds of Growth: How AGCO Built a Global Tractor Powerhouse from Atlanta
DESCRIPTION:When Martin Richenhagen joined AGCO Corp. in 2004\, it was already a $3 billion publicly traded firm. But sixteen years later\, when he retired from his posts as chairman and CEO\, it was a Fortune 500 powerhouse combining some of the biggest brands in the business of agricultural equipment. With $10 billion in sales\, AGCO doubled in size during his tenure to more than 20\,000 employees around the globe. \nThis extraordinary growth story\, rooted in metro Atlanta\, is linked with Mr. Richenhagen’s vision to expand aggressively via acquisitions while peering constantly around the corner to see future trends in food and farming. \nRather than being absorbed in the halls of academia\, Mr. Richenhagen’s business acumen developed from natural curiosity and hustle\, starting during his early years as a religion scholar and French teacher and developing alongside a  love of horses that propelled his ascent to the highest levels of competitive dressage. \nJoin the Georgia State University CIBER in the latest of its ongoing International Business Webinar series for a discussion with Mr. Richenhagen moderated by Global Atlanta Managing Editor Trevor Williams. \nAbout Martin Richenhagen: \nMartin Richenhagen was the first and for many years the only German CEO of a U.S.. Fortune 500 company. Born and raised in Cologne\, he studied theology\, philosophy and worked as a French teacher before he changed fields and started a successful international business career that led him to 16 years at the helm at AGCO ending in 2020. \nKey Takeaways: \n\nHow multinational corporations should navigate a strategy of growth through acquisitions versus organic sales\nLessons on hiring\, training and deploying executives in various emerging and developed markets and across functions\, from management to marketing to manufacturing\nHow leaders can use embrace cultural differences as an advantage rather than a hindrance\n\nContact Paula Huntley with any registration questions at gsuciber@gsu.edu.

SUMMARY:Challenges of Satellite Security in the Age of Rising Tensions
DESCRIPTION:ACIR is honored to host Dr. Mariel Borowitz for an in-person event entitled “Challenges of Satellite Security in the Age of Rising Tensions.” \nThe United States heavily depends on satellites during peacetime for communications\, navigation\, and other essential functions. During wars\, satellites play a crucial role in such functions as command and control\, reconnaissance\, intelligence gathering and targeting. However\, satellites are becoming increasingly vulnerable to anti-satellite actions by potential adversaries. \nJoin ACIR as Dr. Mariel Borowitz\, who has worked with the National Security Agency on such issues\, explores the challenges the United States confronts in protecting American satellites from the actions of potential adversaries\, imperiling our civilian grid system\, and neutralizing our military communications and targeting satellites. \n  \nSpeaker bio:  \nDr. Borowitz completed a detail as a policy analyst for the Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington\, DC from 2016 to 2018. In 2022\, she testified to the U.S. House of Representatives Subcommittee on Space and Aeronautics in a hearing titled\, “Space Situational Awareness: Guiding the Transition to a Civil Capability.” \nHer research deals with international space policy issues\, focusing particularly on global developments related to remote sensing satellites and challenges to space security and sustainability. Her book\, “Open Space: The Global Effort for Open Access to Environmental Satellite Data\,” published by MIT Press\, examines trends in the development of data sharing policies governing Earth observing satellites\, as well as interactions with the growing commercial remote sensing sector. Her work has been published in Science\, Strategic Studies Quarterly\, Space Policy\, Astropolitics\, and New Space. Her research has been supported by grants from the National Science Foundation and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. \nDr. Borowitz earned a PhD in Public Policy at the University of Maryland and a Master’s degree in International Science and Technology Policy from George Washington University. She has a Bachelor of Science degree in Aerospace Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
