By contrasting two of Professor Edward Walker studies, differences can be seen in the social movement tactics used both against corporations and also by corporations. Corporations have a weaker capacity to respond to protest and a narrower range of vulnerabilities, therefore, their structure promotes a greater number of confrontational forms of protests against it (Walker et al. 69, 71). On the other hand, social movement tactics used by corporations, as in the healthcare industry, are more conventional, because they possess superior resources to provide an arsenal of tactics and channel protest through routinization which mimic social movement tactics used against the state (Walker 45, 49; Walker et al. 63).
