Many of the projects that MBA students work on during their program are group work projects, as they simulate real life situations where few people work outside a team. However there are problems in assessing an indvidual's contribution to a project. It can be very difficult to work out who has done what, and to what standard, when you are presented with a total project.
However, one way of dealing with this when you are teaching on an MBA is to give the problem to the students. They have to either work out how to identify individual contributions to the project, or to be confident that there was equal effort and equal talent in each part of the whole.
Just another management dilema.
