A company and a sovereign state are completely different things.

Both have politics since they are structures made of humans.

But they are completely different.

A company is a legal entity functioning within the framework of the legislation of a state, to start with.

It depends on the level you look at. For example the political skills of a manager to advance themselves at the expense of the organisation and their subordinates is identical whether at Raytheon or the DoD (to use an American example).

Only the government can use force openly on you with complete impunity.
