　　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。
