It details Herrin’s desire to start and grow a company that would offer an employment solution for women (typically with children) without meaning a full-time office job. The case covers the idea inspiration and start-up stage, as well as a business update (as of March 2009).
Learning Objective
The objective of the vignette is to provide an example to students of a female entrepreneur who successfully started and grew a business, based on her own personal desire to have a manageable work/life balance.
