CHAPTER OVERVIEW g
Chapter One lays the foundation for the textbook. Make sure you look on the publisher‘s web site for
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
information about how business law intersects with the six functional areas of business. The authors encourage
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
students to ―connect to the core,‖ and remember the ways in which law intersects with other areas of study,
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
including corporate management, production and transportation, marketing, research and development,
g g g g g g g g g g
accounting and finance, and human resource management.

This manual supports the ―connecting to the core‖ theme by giving ideas for assignments that encourage
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
students to integrate their business law knowledge with knowledge they are acquiring from their other business
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
classes. The manual also encourages professors to improve their teaching skills. Finally, the manual suggests
