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- !!

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..

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.
Levels
Lachmanns work is multi-level
- his theories include different level of analysis, from individual to trough firm, industry, market etc.
- he recognizes connections among different levels, with high level processes affect low-level, high-level actors affect low-level etc.
Schumpeter saw entrepreneurs as
- heroic figures, uniquely possessing the will to introduce new cominations
- attack foundations of existing firms
- destroy equilibrium
Time Frame
Lachmann's creativity view, and social phenomena in general, leads to statements on prediction.
- prediction is difficult, especially about future
- as soon as we permit time to elapse, we must permit knowledge to change: there's a continuous change in knowledge
Purpose
Market process theory
Focus
Two processes are central in Lachmann's approach
- market process: entrepreneurs act on basis of expectations, and interact with other entrepreneurs and market participants
- capital (re)formation process: enterpreneurs (re)combine capital resources within a focal organization and interact with other org.
Purpose
Common purpose for entrepreneurial research
Lachmann's radical Austrian approach, has 6 key specifications that we use
- Purpose
- Theory
- Focus
- Levels
- Time
- Methos
Focus
Lachmann developed an institutional theory, and tackles three main points here
- Disequilibrium market and capital (re)formation processes appear embedded in and stabilized by institutional contexts
- to guide and coordinate individual action, institutions must be fixed and stable. At same time, they must adapt and change, as the environment changes
- He claims that the institutional order comprises complementary external and internal institutions
Lachmann is other Austrian economic (almost entirely ignored), he concluded
- that most markets not only achieve equilibrium, but may never even tend toward it.
- So, he breaks cleanly with the neoclassical paradigm
Methods
Lachmann rejects formal variance models, instead he embraces the
- process theory: researchers must explain sequence of events in time, pay attention to their ordering, to narrate the emergence of complex social phenomena
- We cannot predict future, but we can explain the past
Purpose
Lachmann has belief that entrepreneur must employ
- creative imagination
- capital resources
Two Austrian economics who have contributed the most valuable insights are
- Schumpeter studies entrepreneurship as a disquilibrium phenomenon, in which innovative entrepreneurs disrupt the existing market equilibrium to create disequilibrium
- Kirzner: arbitraging entrepreneurs move the market from initial disequilibrium to equilibrium
Theory
Lachmann, emphasized the continuously disequilibrating nature of entrepreneurship
Limitations on Kirzner understandings
- He says that entrepreneur do not create opportunities, but discover existing
- Neglects external intervention
- Doesnt acknowledge that entrepreneurs can perceive incorrectly
- Ignored that entrepreneurs need capital to exploit opportunities
Limitations on Schumpeters understandings
- He rejected subjectivism of human mind (failed to address entrepreneurial creativity)
- totally ignored why entrepreneurs suddenly intrude equilibrium
- his idea is that socialism can work, and entrepreneurship will be destroyed by own success
- he draw sharp distinction between capitalists and entrepreneurs
