Conclusion

From the Paper:

"A group consists of two or more people who work together to accomplish a common objective. Members of a group must interact with one another on a consistent basis over a sustained period to accomplish the goal. When establishing groups formal or informal, permanent or temporary, virtual or real, fundamental group input factors must be established. Group input factors including goals, rewards, resources, technology, the task at hand, membership characteristics, and group size must be established to ensure the effectiveness of the group."
