From pipe dream,to enterprise incubator,to award-winning business: The case of Scriba PR

Abstract

Scriba PR is a very successful award-winning technical public relations company. This case study examines the journey of Scriba PR and its founder, Katie Mallinson. Seeing business ownership as a pipe dream at first, Katie drew extensively on her support networks, rigorous planning and a University enterprise incubator to encourage and help her to take the leap into business ownership. Since that point, a dynamic interplay of individual and organisational identity has ensued alongside a growing and developing business. This case study explores issues of business model development, enterprise incubators, identity and female entrepreneurship.
