Abstract
Employers know teamwork enhances results. For employers hiring today’s business school graduates, one of the most sought after skills is team building. In response, universities have incorporated group projects as a mainstay of their curriculum. An abundance of research exits to guide faculty on ways to manage group projects, but only a few older studies offer a synthesis of best practices. This study looks at the most recent research and offers a comprehensive review, culminating in recommendations on the following: group formation and size, team training methods, assessment techniques, and team charters.
