Tej Kohli Business Blog

Another Big Business Merger is underway, a Tej Kohli business Blog report:

Movie studio DreamWorks SKG is close to a deal with India’s Reliance ADA Group to form a new movie venture, reported the Wall Street Journal, citing people familiar with the talks.

The Journal said a deal with Reliance would give movie director Steven Spielberg the cash to finance his DreamWorks team’s departure from Viacom Inc’s Paramount Pictures later this year.

Reliance would provide Spielberg and company with $500-$600 million in equity and would also give Reliance a large stake in the new company.

The work qualification test

Murphy applied for an engineering position at an Irish firm based in Dublin. An American applied for the same job and both applicants having the same qualifications were asked to take a test by the Department manager. Upon completion of the test both men only missed one of the questions. The manager went to Murphy and said.

Manager: “Thank you for your interest, but we’ve decided to give the American the job”

Murphy: “And why would you be doing that? We both got nine questions correct. This being Ireland and me being Irish I should get the job!”

Manager: “We have made our decisions not on the correct answers, but on the question you missed.”

Murphy: “And just how would one incorrect answer be better than the other?”

Manager: “Simple, the American put down on question #5, “I don’t know.”, You put down “Neither do I.”
