HUDSON, Juan Pablo. Theoretical and conceptual formulations of self-management. Rev. Mex. Sociol [online]. 2010, vol.72, n.4, pp.571-597. ISSN 2594-0651.

The article traces the main theoretical and conceptual bases put forward by various authors and the trends of thought on self-management. Its aim is to compare the bases of a term which, although often used in social research in recent years, lacks sufficient theoretical bibliography to explain its antecedents and scope. In this respect, this study puts forward a series of essential theoretical and political debates for analyzing the self-management processes that have emerged as strategies for resistance and survival in the face of the advance of neoliberalism in Latin America.
