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