本书的特点在于：第一，它打开了以往的“黑箱”，把企业的政治行为看成是具有丰富内涵的、内容可能千变万化的一种现象，并剖析这些变化以及引起这些变化的因素。第二，它以实证研究、而非个人经验的方式考察了企业政治战术的使用情况，并对它们进行了分类。第三，它运用了扎根理论的思想，通过对16家样本企业的案例分析，较为全面地掌握了英美企业使用政治战术的情况。 同时，通过阅读本书，读者能够从中了解到，即使在西方发达国家中，不同国家间企业的政治行为也是显著不同的，我们不能以偏概全，简单的以“美国”和“西方”相互替代，否则就会给我国的研究者和企业带来不必要的困扰。如果以此指导实践，甚至会带来严重后果。而通过分析更多企业内外在因素的作用，读者也可以了解到，除了政治资源和地域文化外，影响企业政治战术组合的因素可能是多样的。总之，本研究希望起到一个抛砖引玉、进一步拓宽研究者的思路的作用。
