In the current global economy, companies continuously search to improve efficiency, reduce overhead, and maintain positive financial growth. This search has led companies to look beyond their traditional market horizons for expansion opportunities. For many companies this includes establishing a strategic foothold in the international markets. Along with the challenges presented by ordinary program expansion are the security concerns posed by access to foreign markets and network as well as cultural and societal indoctrination. The purpose of this study then is to research, identify, and propose methodologies for enhancing security, improving infrastructure and securing intellectual assets domestically and internationally.

In 1912, A.B. Modine moved to Racine, Wisconsin, and became a principal partner in Perfex Radiator (a predecessor to a company Modine Manufacturing would later acquire), where Modine was actively involved in research, testing, and design of radiators. Following a business disagreement with a silent partner at Perfex over how that company should be managed and capitalized, Modine decided to establish his own company. A.B. Modine founded Modine Manufacturing in 1916 to make radiators for farm tractors. He became president and treasurer of the company, which opened a one-room office adjacent to a small workshop in Racine. Soon after opening his office, Modine developed the company’s first major product—the Spirex farm tractor radiator—a radiator core with a spiral fin put in the radiator cells which helped with the product’s heat transferability. Modine developed his business on innovation, a concept which is still held and encouraged today at all levels. He started as small operation in Racine, Wisconsin and has spread globally to be a leader in research, development and production of heat transfer technology. Their first invention was the Spirex tractor radiator, using their developed innovative technology they were able to dissipate heat from coolant by allowing air to pass through the device.
