如何理解GMAT Issue题目中enterprise

在GMAT的Issue题库中，两次出现了同一个单词“enterprise”:

"In any enterprise, the process of making or doing something is ultimately more important than the final product."

"The best strategy for managing a business, or any enterprise, is to find the most capable people and give them as much authority as possible."

而这两道题中的“enterprise”不应都简单理解为“企业”。

实际上，根据 Webster 的对“enterprise”释义：

1: a project or undertaking that is especially difficult, complicated, or risky

2: readiness to engage in daring action: INITIATIVE

3 a: a unit of economic organization or activity; especially: a business organization

b: a systematic purposeful activity

“enterprise”可以被理解为人类有目的活动,就包括了科研、商业、探险等.

因此，这两道题的讨论范围都可以超出商业范畴，这也反映了GMAT考试的专业通用原则。
