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