endeavor v. enterprise v. job v. work

I try to understand the word endeavor.

Here is an example: "he had doubts about the whole endeavor" of the definition "A purposeful or industrious undertaking (especially one that requires effort or boldness)"

Is endeavor of this kind refer to a firm or a job? For example are big firms such as Unilever or Shell one of endeavors?

Thank you

Here are a couple of basic comments for you to consider..
The verb 'endeavour' means to try hard and boldly.
The noun 'endeavour' thus means a hard and bold effort.

eg A company can be an endeavour if people are trying hard and boldly to make it successful.
eg Running a 4-minute mile is an endeavour.
