CHAPTER OVERVIEW f
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
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
students to ―connect to the core,‖ and remember the ways in which law intersects with other areas of study,
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
including corporate management, production and transportation, marketing, research and development,
f f f f f f f f f f
accounting and finance, and human resource management.

f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
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
