CHAPTER OVERVIEW
Chapter One lays the foundation for the textbook. Make sure you look on the publisher‘s web
site for information about how business law intersects with the six functional areas of business.
The authors encourage students to ―connect to the core,‖ and remember the ways in which
law intersects with other areas of study, including corporate management, production and
transportation, marketing, research and development, accounting and finance, and human
resource management.
This manual supports the ―connecting to the core‖ theme by giving ideas for assignments that
encourage students to integrate their business law knowledge with knowledge they are
acquiring from their other business classes. The manual also encourages professors to improve
their teaching skills. Finally, the manual suggests teaching ideas for both beginning and
experienced teachers.
