Content: as each movement's response to the opportunity structures depends on the movement's organization and resources, there is no clear pattern of movement development nor are specific movement techniques or methods universal
Political Process Theory is similar to resource mobilization in many regards, but tends to emphasize a different component of social structure that is important for social movement development: political opportunities. Divisional Structure
Organizations can be structured in various ways, with each structure determining the manner in which the organization operates and performs. A common legal structure known as the multidivisional form (or "M-form") also uses the divisional structure. This business structure is typically found in companies that operate worldwide—for example, Virgin Group is the parent company of Virgin Mobile and Virgin Records. As with all organizational structure types, the divisional structure offers distinct advantages and disadvantages. Describe the basic premise behind divisional structures within the general framework of organizational structure
External Sources of Social Change
Generally, a theory of change should include elements such as structural aspects of change (like population shifts), processes and mechanisms of social change, and directions of change. Political Process Theory is similar to resource mobilization theory (which considers the mobilization of resources to be the key ingredient of a successful movement) in many regards, and emphasizes political opportunities as the social structure that is important for social movement development. "Organizational strength" falls in line with resource- mobilization theory, arguing that in order for a social movement to organize it must have strong leadership and sufficient resources. Some groups may have the insurgent consciousness and resources to mobilize, but because political opportunities are closed, they will not have any success.
