CHAPTER OVERVIEW
Chapter One lays the foundation for the textbook. Make sure you look on the ṗublisher‘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 corṗorate management, ṗroduction and
transṗortation, marketing, research and develoṗment, accounting and finance, and human
resource management.
This manual suṗṗorts 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 ṗrofessors to imṗrove
their teaching skills. Finally, the manual suggests teaching ideas for both beginning and
exṗerienced teachers.
