Data sources included 95 course syllabi and handouts on writing assignments, 12 student writing samples, and six interviews with business faculty. Data analysis indicated that writing assignments required of students encompassed both general academic and discipline specific genres. Further, analysis of the disciplinary genres indicated that they were problem solving oriented, were designed to initiate students into the real business world, and required students to utilize a variety of problem-solving tools and information sources.
