Hey Selena,the sentence is simple:Subject is *企业*,Predicate verb is *取得了*,Object is *成绩*,Attributive is *令人瞩目的*。*令人瞩目的* modify *成绩*. if despite the attributive,the sentence is 企业取得了成绩,if we want to modify the *成绩*,the sentence is 企业取得了令人瞩目的成绩.Translate it in English:The enterprises have achieved spectacular achievements.

企业 // 取得了 // 令人瞩目//**的 成绩**.
The enterprises got results THAT/WHICH got people's attention.
Always look for the 的, because the noun following it is your key to deciphering the sentence. 的 is “"that" or "which" -- "the one that" -- something like that. The whole phrase before the 的 is describing the noun following it.

I think,your translation is not bad,but sometimes Sentences can not be translated literally.Otherwise you would have made it too,complicated And not like real Chinese.Finally the enterprise got outstanding achievement.

just translate 令人瞩目 as ”remarkable“ is good enough
