Found in Japanese company units that the type of responsibility center decides how staff numbers and payroll are set, which in turn decides the mix of regular and non-regular workers, with head office managing regular employees and the sites managing the rest. Caveat: Case studies of a handful of Japanese company units by one researcher, chosen to illustrate types rather than sampled, and anonymized.
