For my 1st exam I got a C. Then, I started looking for ways to learn better and I came across Study Smart. Since then I have scored a A+, A, A- and another A. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to hear it. I am so happy with it!!
I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of StudySmart, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.
Hey Chris, I really want to thank you very much for developing the platform, I usually got around C for my exams, now I scored an A+, an A and a A- !!
Since using Study Smart, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with StudySmart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.
For the first time, I finally feel totally confident about the way I learn. I have the perfect overview and make great progress in terms of speed and the grades I get. Thanks, Chris!
I immediately started to enjoy learning again, and my grades soared. All of a sudden, everything went better. I highly recommend Study Smart to all students..
Being able to create my materials online made the process of studying so much smoother and quicker. I no longer have to spend a huge amount of my time on creating my summaries.
At first, my notes were a mess. Now I use Study Smart to take my notes in a perfectly structured way. It helps me to save a lot of time and do other things I enjoy.
Students that study with Study Smart get better grades. The system applies all the learning methods in such a way that both well-performing students and students who struggle perform much better.
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you very much. Last year I scored C on a course, and this year I got an A+ thanks to your method! Thank you very much!
The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.

- can be done by allocating time or funds to intrapreneur
Intrapreneurs can be stimulated by create right climate
Autonomy of intrapreneurial team
- Intra has desire to have sole control over destiny of their idea
- In LE autonomy to deavelop ideas is often levels above innovator
Intrapreneur needs some managerial skills
- ability to adopt multi-disciplinair role (you may have background in ex. marketing, but you need to have all)
- understanding the environment (how their creativity influences intern and extern)
- encouraged open discussion (only success when everybody is free to disagree)
- creation of management options (create something new in bureaucratic LE)
- building a coalition of supporters (openess leads to strong coalition)
The successes of Apple resulted in attempts of LE to develop positive side of entrapreneurship and implement this. But LE are simply too big.
Other barriers to intrapreneurship within a corporate setting
- Traditional corporate structure: many layers, hierarchical
- Corporate culture: stiffle innovation
- LE performance standards: are short-term
- Planning procedures: LE require more control & planning

4 significant differences in creating a new venture, and establish a corporate venture through intrapreneurship
- Business environment: staff within corporate venture is restricted by parental rules
- Establishing new venture: independent will tailor for own proposal, internal must meet org. rules and share control with management
- Sources of patterns & funding: entra in funded on milestone basis, intra on traditional budgetting and resource allocation
- Staff resources: independent is made up of eager qualified individuals who share founders vision. LE will recruit people in line for promotion, rather then on basis of org. need
Intrapreneur needs some entrapreneurial skills
- vision and flexibility (must have a dream to overcome failures)
- action oriented (starting now, rather then planning)
- dedication (get job done on time)
- persistance in overcoming failure (persist through frustration)
- setting self determined goals (own goals, rather then of org.)
