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

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