Professor Watson is excited to announce the next session of “Small Business Management and Entrepreneurship,” led by Dr. Greg Watson. This course combines theoretical lessons with practical applications, aiming to support both students in academia and local small business owners. It delves into managing a small business, covering topics like market analysis, business planning, risk management, and financial strategy. More details about the course and registration information can be found on Professor Watson’s website.
Dr. Greg Watson, an experienced entrepreneur and university lecturer, focuses on giving future business leaders useful, practical knowledge. He says, “Our course doesn’t just teach business concepts. We focus on fostering student success by engaging students with real-world challenges and strategies. We want to bridge the gap between classroom theories and everyday business practices.”
The course content is rich and varied, starting from how to develop business ideas and moving through to crafting detailed business plans. Students learn to spot market opportunities, interact with customers to gather feedback, refine their product offerings, and conduct feasibility assessments. These components ensure that students graduate from the program ready to launch their businesses with a clear strategic plan.
A key skill covered in the course is delivering pitches to potential investors, which is critical for obtaining funding and boosting business growth. The interactive format, along with individual coaching sessions with Dr. Watson during office hours found through his contact platform, enhances student engagement and nurtures a cooperative learning setting. This environment helps students make the most of their learning experiences and apply them effectively to real-world entrepreneurship.
What sets this program apart is its dual focus. It acts as a formal academic course and a practical workshop for local small business owners looking to sharpen their strategies. Through structured learning and real-world application, participants can make substantial progress in business management and expansion.
Pima Community College, where the course is held, supports this innovative teaching model. The college provides an ideal learning environment that helps budding entrepreneurs unlock their potential. The course is slated to run every 8 to 10 weeks, with each session expanding on the foundational concepts built in earlier ones.
The smaller class sizes ensure one-on-one attention and meaningful interactions between Dr. Watson and his students, reinforcing the lessons taught. A former student, Maria Jackson, shared, “The course gave me the confidence to start my business. Dr. Watson’s approach to teaching is practical and compelling. His lessons on business planning and risk management were crucial for my venture’s early stages.”
Among the popular topics in the “Small Business Management and Entrepreneurship” course are managing cash flow, creating sales forecasts, and conducting breakeven analyses.

Adding further depth, guest speakers, who are successful entrepreneurs, offer unique insights and practical perspectives. These sessions aim to inspire and encourage participants, showing that student achievement is well within reach with the right knowledge and effort.
Dr. Watson is deeply committed to nurturing the entrepreneurial spirit in his students. “Every class is a chance to inspire someone to pursue a dream,” he says. “Watching my students turn their passions into successful businesses is incredibly rewarding.”
