This essay sheds light on the relationship between the characteristics of second‐year MBA student writing groups and the quality of their group‐written reports. The study included an evaluation of the reports using an assessment instrument designed for the study and an evaluation of group characteristics using a questionnaire administered orally and in writing to groups. The most significant correlation between the groups and their writing was the group's history, namely, whether individuals chose to form a team on the basis of having worked together previously on a writing project and whether the team worked together previously on a long report.
