This is based on videos that were used in a UCLA MBA course. However, I taught the same material to undergraduates and PhD students. It should be suitable for gifted high school seniors to seasoned executives.
These are companion videos to a free textbook available on my website, which cover the same material. The course is best digested as a combination of both.
