The Resource Mobilization Theory
Resource Mobilization Theory explains how social movements and organizations succeed by effectively gathering and managing resources like money, people, skills, and support. It emphasizes that having objectives alone isn’t enough; success depends on access to these resources, strategic planning, and strong leadership. The theory suggests that well-organized efforts, resource acquisition, and efficient use of assets are crucial for social change, making the movement's ability to mobilize resources a key factor in its impact and longevity.
