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