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.
