Max-Diversity Orthogonal Regrouping of MBA Students Using a GRASP/VND Heuristic.

Students from Master in Business Administration (MBA) programs are usually split into teams. Many schools rotate the teams at the beginning of every term, so that each student works with a different set of peers during every term. Diversity within every team is desirable regarding gender, major, age and other criteria. Achieving diverse teams while avoiding -or minimizing- the repetition of student pairs is a time-consuming complex task for MBA Directors.
