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