SUMMARY:Webinar - From Exports to Exit: How International Business Can Fuel Startup Success
DESCRIPTION:When Sean Casey helped found helicopter parts supplier Rotorcorp\, he quickly noticed that companies who deploy these “flying pickup trucks” weren’t confined within U.S. borders. From far-flung fisheries and oil wells to expansive cattle ranches and infrastructure monitoring\, Robinson helicopters were being put to use all over the world in a variety of utilitarian\, and sometimes unorthodox\, applications. \n\n\n\nThe problem\, he soon found\, was that those who served them with spare parts were largely focused domestically\, and online ordering\, if it existed at all\, was a far cry from the e-commerce ease most consumers expect in their personal shopping. \n\n\n\nMr. Casey set to work expanding in two interlinked directions: digitizing inventory and improving online sales\, while also broadening company’s geographic reach\, relying on a variety of freely available resources — and carefully crafted personal relationships — to become an expert in exports. \n\n\n\nRotorcorp achieved liftoff\, and Mr. Casey exited the company in early 2025\, taking his talents and hard-won international business lessons to Dragon Q Energy\, a startup that distributes solar power poles outfitted with batteries to off-grid locations in need of reliable electricity. The company is set to launch a pilot project in Zambia as it raises capital to scale into disaster relief\, telecom\, commercial and military applications. With this new venture\, Mr. Casey is building exports into the strategy at the outset\, rather than bolting it on as an afterthought. \n\n\n\nAttendees will glean the following takeaways: \n\n\n\n\nHow local connections\, free resources and commitment to global business can help unlock export success\, pairing U.S. strengths with global demand\n\n\n\n\n\nHow to bring e-commerce solutions and scale to a fragmented legacy industry stuck in analog processes\n\n\n\n\n\nLessons on growing globally as a startup\, and how international business can boost resiliency\, attract capital and accelerate a business sale\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSean Casey\, Chief Commercial Officer\, Dragon Q Energy\nA native of Rochester\, New York\, Sean Casey is the proud father of four children and has called Atlanta\, Georgia home since 1997. After co-founding Rotorcorp in 2011\, alongside his brother Daniel Casey\, Sean assumed the leadership role as the company’s CEO in 2018. \n\n\n\nA military veteran\, Sean served as an M1 Abrams armored crewman in the U.S. Army and he embodies the leadership principles honed during his service. Sean is a hands-on operational leader\, taking a n active role in defining the future state of the business\, ensuring the correct people\, tools\, and resources are in place to achieve the strategic objectives. \n\n\n\nWith a passion for export and international trade\, Sean has a a Certified Global Business Professional (CGBP) designation and  was appointed by President Biden to serve a second term as a member of the Industry Trade Advisory Committee (ITAC) for Aerospace Equipment at the U.S Commerce Department in Washington D.C.\, is an active member of the District Export Council (DEC) through the U.S. Commercial Service\, and serves on the Small Business Initiatives Committee of Vertical Aviation International (VAI). .Mr. Casey is also a Presidential ‘E’ Award for Exports winner. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	From the archive:

SUMMARY:International Business Webinar Series: Murata: Tiny Parts\, Huge Impact on Global Supply Chains
DESCRIPTION:When things are going right\, the small things are easy to ignore. Not so when supply chains are stressed — the essential becomes magnified\, no matter how tiny. \n\n\n\nThat’s what happened with Murata\, who in 1973 became one of the earliest Japanese investors in Georgia\, setting up a plant to make capacitors in car radios. The Kyoto-based company\, now with global annual revenues of approximately $1.7 Trillion yen\, holds about 40 percent of the world’s market share for capacitors\, small ceramic parts produced by the trillions each year to store and release power within electronic devices. \n\n\n\nWhen a tsunami hit Japan’s northeast coast in 2011 and an earthquake shook the country\, electronics supply chains were scrambled. Everything\, from cell phones and digital cameras to appliances and EVs\, relies in some way on Murata’s parts — more than 1\,000 go into a typical smartphone and potentially 30\,000+ slated for a fully autonomous electric vehicle. \n\n\n\nMurata had already been diversifying its sourcing around the world\, including in Southeast Asia\, to be closer to end customers. It also deepened research spending to ensure it could serve advanced industries\, like increasingly computerized cars\, with innovative solutions. That blend of diversification and R&D continues today. Murata Electronics North America\, meanwhile\, has a new headquarters in Atlanta\, Ga.\, and maintains a distribution center in Rockmart\, Ga. \n\n\n\nToday\, an uncertain global trade landscape threatens to inflict another shock to supply chains around the world. Join GSU-CIBER and Global Atlanta to hear from Murata Electronics North America’s CEO\, David Kirk\, on how the company is dealing with increasing volatility in high-value industries where the smallest parts can make the biggest impact. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDavid Kirk\, VP\, Murata Manufacturing Co Ltd.President & CEO\, Murata Electronics North America\nDavid is responsible for various functions within the Americas including Sales/Marketing\, Operations and Corporate Technology\, and Innovation. The Americas is a critical region for design-in activity that results in Global Sales within the Electronics industry. Murata has made multiple acquisitions and integrations on a global basis including Peregrine Semiconductor (pSemi)\, Vios Medical\, Eta Wireless\, Resonant\, and RF Monolithics (RFM). \n\n\n\nHe started his career as a Product Engineer with Murata and moved into the Director of Marketing role. He then became President and CEO of RFM\, which was a public company from 1999 to 2011. Upon coming back to Murata in 2012\, he was instrumental in RFM’s acquisition by the parent company in Japan. \n\n\n\nDavid is the first non-Japanese person to lead Murata in the Americas and become an officer of the parent company Murata Manufacturing Company headquartered in Kyoto\, Japan.  \n\n\n\nHe came to the United States in the late 1970s on a track scholarship and graduated from Clemson University in South Carolina with a degree in Electrical Engineering. \n\n\n\nDavid and his wife\, Tammi\, have four grown children and live in McKinney\, TX (in the Dallas area). His hobbies include golfing\, hiking\, cycling (gravel)\, fishing\, and their seven grandchildren. \n\n\n\nDavid enjoys the challenge of globalizing Murata and specifically mentoring the next generation of leaders in following the company’s philosophy of contributing to the advancement of society. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nKey takeaways:  \n\n\n\n\nHow Murata has diversified its manufacturing locations around the world in partnership with customers and what that has meant for the company’s U.S. operations\n\n\n\n\n\nMurata’s approach to continuous improvement in research and development\, its moves up the value chain over the last 50 years\, and efforts to showcase innovation in relatable ways like robots and other consumer-facing items\n\n\n\n\n\nThe company’s approach to trade uncertainty and supply chain volatility and how the company balances its Japanese sensibilities\, including long-term strategy\, with a nimble approach in global markets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	From the archive:

SUMMARY:International Business Webinar Series: The Varieties of Populism – Their Rise and Impact on Business & Society
DESCRIPTION:Today\, we have seen the rise of many populist leaders and parties across the globe. This has led to rising interest in the phenomenon of populism. However\, this interest\, particularly in the public domain has led to naive and stereotypical definitions and views on populism based on a few prominent contemporary cases. Yet populism has a long historical tradition\, particularly in the United States and South America\, and has its roots all the way back to Ancient Rome. In this webinar\, we discuss the nature of populism and its varieties\, and why today it is a mixture of factors we have seen before. Some appear new and unique but are still within the bounds of our understanding. \n\n\n\nKey takeaways: \n\n\n\n\nGain a clearer perspective on the populist wave of the last decade.\n\n\n\nAcquire a better understanding of how companies have\, and can\, address\, the political reality they are facing.\n\n\n\nDevelop an understanding of how the political structure of different countries can influence their susceptibility to the influence of fringe political ideologies.\n\n\n\n\nThis webinar is FREE and open to all\, but registration is required. \n\n\n\nZoom details will be sent to all registered participants. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	From the archive:

SUMMARY:International Business Webinar Series -- Interview With Ravi Saligram\, CEO of Newell Brands: Learning and Leading Through a Global Turnaround
DESCRIPTION:When Ravi Saligram joined Newell Brands in 2019 as President & CEO\, the company was experiencing poor performance\, low employee engagement and excessive complexity. In 2020\, Ravi and the world-class leadership team he’d built were also faced with leading through the unexpected and monumental issues presented by COVID. \nDespite these challenges\, employee engagement scores increased significantly\, and the company’s turnaround efforts persisted.\nWhile Ravi announced his May retirement earlier this year\, there’s no doubt the company has strengthened during his tenure. Complexity and overhead costs have been reduced; Project Ovid\, a multi-year initiative consolidating 23 unique supply chains into one\, was successfully implemented; a new innovation operating model was introduced\, and innovations were launched that leveraged COVID trends; automation has been scaled and the company has best-in-class productivity and safety records. Notably\, Newell Brands was named one of Fortune’s Most Admired Companies in 2022 and 2023\, a recognition it had not previously received. \nRavi is a three-time public CEO\, also having led OfficeMax\, Inc. and Ritchie Brothers. Despite arriving in the United States with less than $20 in his pocket\, he earned an MBA from the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor\, and has lived in six countries and worked in many more during his nearly 40-year career\, which began at Leo Burnett in Chicago. \nDuring this webinar\, Ravi will speak with Global Atlanta Managing Editor Trevor Williams and share the following key takeaways:\n• The importance of a people-first approach and how to drive a culture of engagement\n• How companies can foster diversity\, inclusion and belonging and be a force for good\n• The necessity of cross-cultural competency and how international experience shapes perspective \n \n\n\n	From the archive:

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.\n\n\n	From the archive:

SUMMARY:Executive Roundtable - Finding Funding: How Supply Chain Finance Unlocks Global Growth
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nExecutive Roundtable – Finding Funding: How Supply Chain Finance Unlocks Global Growth \nGlobal supply chains can open up arbitrage opportunities and drive competitiveness\, but as we all learned during the pandemic\, they also can also introduce cascading chains of uncertainty.

SUMMARY:Sports Diplomacy as a Key Tool in U.S. Foreign Policy
DESCRIPTION:While the United States leveraged the power of sports even before the ping-pong diplomacy era\, the Sports Diplomacy Division at the U.S. Department of State was established in the wake of 9/11 as a means of reaching out to youth in the Middle East through soccer. Its scope has expanded to include all regions\, thousands of participants\, and the full spectrum of sports. The division’s people-to-people sports exchanges open doors in hard-to-reach places and engage communities at the grassroots level.\nWhile a government-led Ministry of Sport is responsible for sports in many countries\, the United States has a different model with leagues\, federations\, collegiate sports\, youth athletics\, and the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee driving the sports space. The U.S. Department of State’s Sports Diplomacy Division works with these American sports entities and partner non-profits to manage its core sports diplomacy programs. The office often serves as the linchpin between these organizations and U.S. Embassies and Consulates around the world to manage four pillars: Sports Envoys\, Sports Visitors\, the International Sports Programming Initiative\, and the Global Sports Mentoring Program (GSMP): the espnW GSMP to empower women and the Sport for Community GSMP on disability rights. \nKey Take-Aways: \n1. What is sports diplomacy? How does the U.S. Department of State use sports diplomacy in foreign policymaking?\n2. What are key priorities to the U.S. Department of State’s Sports Diplomacy Division in the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs? What skills are necessary to achieve its goals?\n3. How can young professionals in international affairs/business become involved in the global sports diplomacy movement? How can it relate to their work? \nFeaturing: \nTrina Bolton\, U.S. Department of State \n\n\n	From the archive:

They will also offer their expectations of their future evolution. What policy measures need to be in place to support emerging market multinationals? How should advanced economy multinationals adjust?

Of interest to both practitioners and students of international business\, readers will find a highly analytical treatment of these growth economies in this edition of the book.

SUMMARY:Webinar: The Student Goal Centered Syllabus© — A new tool to Enhance Student Engagement and Learning
DESCRIPTION:Over 75% of students report higher levels of anxiety\, depression and stress due to the global corona-virus pandemic. \nThis is also affecting instructors as campuses open back up for an unprecedented blend of remote and in person learning. These\, and other factors\, are negatively impacting student engagement and learning. \nWe note that there is an unfortunate gap between what students are taught in college and what they are expected to know to be career ready post-graduation. \nThus\, how can we help our students through these challenging times? \nIn this webinar\, we share tips and tools on how instructors can become more compassionate and effective educators. As we begin to rethink how we connect with our students\, there is an opportunity to build greater rapport by understanding their career goals\, their need for the development of both hard and soft skills\, and by placing greater focus on relevant course content. \nWe present techniques on how each of us can make a positive and inspiring first-impression with our students by utilizing the innovative Student Goal Centered Syllabus©. \nThe Student Goal Centered Syllabus© has been designed to cultivate a more collaborative\, relationship-building environment. It links student career goals to the course Learning Outcomes. It utilizes a different tone\, uses first and second person language\, and utilizes a unique visual format appealing to a new generation of students. \nAt the end of this program\, participants will be able to: \nIdentify hard skills and soft skills that are not currently emphasized in many business syllabus and classes.\nDiscover student career goals and link them to the course Learning Outcomes and the skills desired by today’s employers.\nUtilize the Student Goal Centered Syllabus© to increase student interest\, engagement\, and learning. \n\n\n	From the archive:

SUMMARY:International Business Webinar Series: Using GlobeSmart™ to Enhance International Business Teaching
DESCRIPTION:Featuring:\nDr. P. Roberto Garcia\, Indiana University\n\nThe reality of business education today is that many faculty members are facing the necessity to address the impact of culture on individuals and firms operating in a very globally dispersed and interconnected work world. Thus\, business professors today need to be familiar with the tools and techniques available to supplement our knowledge and training on the topic of culture. This session will demonstrate Dr. P. Roberto Garcia’s approach to using GlobeSmart which has been developed over a long span at Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business with Undergraduate\, MBA\, and Online MBA students. Students benefit by having more faculty using a more engaging and stimulating teaching tool in their international business courses. Instructors benefit by the possibility of incorporating GlobeSmart\, along with assignment tips\, for a more effective and enjoyable teaching experience.\n\nKey takeaways:\n\nDemonstration of how to use GlobeSmart to deliver content and create enhanced student interactions.\nTips and examples of how to structure relevant assignments.\nFree access to GlobeSmart for 1-month in order to fully try out the tool.\n\n\nGlobeSmart is a powerful online resource to help access a number of cultural research\, teaching\, and training tools. GlobeSmart addresses the greatest cause of difficulties in global business transactions – the lack of “cultural awareness skills” for relating successfully with counterparts from other countries. GlobeSmart provides information on how to work with counterparts from almost 100 countries\, answering questions such as:\n\nWhat are China’s core values and implications for business?\nWhat is the most effective leadership style in India?\nHow should I tailor my presentation for a Japanese audience?\nHow can we effectively manage change across our operations in France?\nHow can we motivate innovation in Germany?\nWhat are pitfalls to transferring knowledge in Brazil?\nHow do Mexicans generally perceive hierarchy in business interactions?\nHow should I prepare for travel to Thailand?\nHow important are status and group orientation in S. Korea?\nWhat “small talk” topics should I use and/or avoid in Turkey?\n\n\n\n	From the archive:

SUMMARY:International Business Webinar Series: Does Cultural Resilience Matter in Overcoming Major Disruptions? The Italian Experience with the Global Health Pandemic
DESCRIPTION:The global pandemic continues to test national economies\, business enterprises\, and individuals. Responses to this health emergency have varied\, some nations weathering the storm better than others\, while others completely failing the test. \nWhat does research suggest in terms of effective responses of nations\, business leaders\, and individuals to major disruptions or crises? What have previous experiences with mega disruptions taught us? What coping strategies\, traits or values have proven to be helpful? \nTurning to the current pandemic\, the panelists will focus on the specific case of Italy (with occasional comparison to others)\, and identify the response of the public sector\, business leaders\, and the society as a whole to the health emergency. Specifically\, they will explore how cultural resilience has played a role so far\, and what strategies\, traits\, or values have proven to be helpful. In addition\, they address the question: ‘What have the Italians learned from this experience\, and what they have re-discovered about themselves?’ \nKey takeaways:\n• What has been the role of cultural resilience in shaping individual-level responses to major crises? What values\, behaviors\, and traits seem to be exhibited by individuals.\n• Can cultural resilience help explain business community responses? What have been the resources and strategies deployed by companies?\n• How can the public sector leverage cultural resilience while responding to national crises? Do’s and don’ts from the Italian experince. \n\n\n	From the archive:
