Single voice in collaborative papers

[BCARTER@wpoff.wcu.edu]

You  been the source of many useful suggestions in the past, so here is another question. 

 What tips do you suggest for establishing a single voice in  collaborative group papers?  We see many long, group-written  management  and marketing papers, and tutors need the entire conference simply to establish a single voice or explain how to accomplish this task.  We would like to take care of this problem  before the paper comes to the writing center so that we can deal with other issues.   I have suggested putting  the papers in a common network location and  having each writer read the part or parts written prior to the his/her entry before beginning to compose.  However, this requires a group member (or many members) starting to write well before the  deadline, and you can imagine how many times my suggestion is used.  What tips do you suggest?
