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