Abstract
In business education being able to collaborate is an important graduate attribute. However, group work often leads to frustration among students. The paper investigated how students in an online business unit perceived group work. Results revealed distinctive student profiles. Some students thought they gained from it and clearly saw value in different characteristics of group work. For other students group work was a pain. The paper concludes with recommendations how to address these student groups.
