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.
Organizations often arrange their core activities according to accepted models, templates, in their field. What is the consequence of this? (Daunno)
On which literature gap does Daunno base it's research?
Prior studies may field different explanations for divergent organizational change because they examined organizational fields that differ in the kinds of market and institutional forces that affect them. What does Daunno do in this study?
Organizations that face strong. local market forces will probably make more divergent changes. Why is that according to Daunno? Formulate H1.
H1: The lower the level of demand in an organization's local market, the more likely it is to make a divergent change.
The addition of an organization to a population, has stronger competitive effects on neighboring organizations than on those that are more distant. What is the impact on divergent changes, formulate H2? (Daunno)
H2: The closer the geographic distance between an organizations and its closest market competitors, the more likely that the organization will make a divergent change.
The size of organizations relative to competitors in their local market is likely to influence divergent change, why? Formulate H3. (Daunno)
H3: Organizations that are smaller than their market competitors ar emore likely to make divergent changes.
What is the influence of service and product mix relative to competitors on divergent change according to Daunno? Formulate H4.
H4: Organizations that have disadvantages in services/products relative to local market competitors are more likely to make divergent changes.
According to Daunno institutional forces also play a role regardign divergent changes. Explain:
Regulation (government policies etc.) can promote or inhibit divergent change. Which hypothesis is formulated by Daunno?
H5: Organizations that meet regulatory requirements in their fields are less likely to make divergent changes.
Government policy (legislation) can promote and prevent strong competition. What is the effect on divergent change? Which hypothesis of Daunno fits this thought?
H6a: Pro-competition regulation will promote divergent organizational change
H6b: Anti-competition regulation will inhibit divergent organizational change
Governmental regulation/policies (legislation) also play a contradictory role in divergent change by either limiting or increasing resources (f.e. capital) for organizations. Which 2 hypotheses did Daunno formulated?
H7b: Legislation that provides resources to support organization's use of alternative templates will promote divergent organizational change.
The most important norms and values of divergent change are those that make such change acceptable to actors who own/govern organizations. What is the difference in public/non-profit and profit organization according to Daunno? Which hypothesis suits this?
H8: Public and private non-profit organizations are less likely to make divergent changes than for-profit organizations.
Governance norms that specify central control of complex organizations will promote divergent change among the various units or divisions that belong to such organizations. Why? Formulate a hypothesis that suits this (Daunno).
H9: Organizations that are member of multidivisional firms are more likely to make divergent changes.
Organizations that adopt alternative templates provide cognitive models of divergent change that spread in an organizational field through mimicry. How does this influence divergent change? Formulate the last hypothesis.
H10: Organizations are more likely to make divergent changes to the extent that they have nonlocal model of such change in organizations that faced similar market and institutional forces.
What is the study's unit of analysis? How did Daunno gathered data?
Daunno's results provide relatively strong support for their hypotheses. Summarize their hypotheses/thoughts.
Which thought is not strong supported according to Daunno?
Can the relative strong results of Daunno be generalized?
What could future research study according to Daunno?
