It doesn't mean the spirit like running a business, instead, it means the spirit for running a business. This word is best suitable for person who is actually running a (start-up) company. | |

If the authors are not Chinese native speaker, I guess I understand how it comes like this now. They just want a word expressing enterprise (the ability to think of new and effective things to do, together with an eagerness to do them) in Chinese, and after looking a dictionary they decide to translate it into 企業. However it's not proper, @QuestionOverflow 's 企業精神 is a good one ... but too general ... formal translations would be 開拓精神/進取精神/事業心 etc.

| Sep 28, 2013 at 12:56 | comment | added | drobnbobn | @Colin McLarty, the context is next. There is one psycholinguistic study of values (such as "Friendship", "Happiness", "Love"). And one of the values is "企業" (yes, that is in modern Chinese using traditional characters). By "企業" authors mean value: property of a person's character, such as "active, energetic, practical, businesslike". Is "企業" suitable for this? Or it is mean just enterprise like IBM or other corporation (not property of a person's character!)? | |
| Sep 28, 2013 at 12:35 | comment | added | Colin McLarty | Ah, do you mean in modern Chinese using traditional characters? In that case Google search entirely supports Stan's answer. | |
| Sep 28, 2013 at 12:17 | comment | added | Stan | 企業 is an enterprise. | |
| Sep 28, 2013 at 12:09 | comment | added | Colin McLarty | It may not mean the same thing in every classical occurrence. If you have a specific occurrence in mind you should give some context. | |
