Segment Information [Abstract]

Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block]

Segment Information

 Our business is organized, managed and internally and externally reported as segments differentiated by the regional markets we serve: Americas, Europe, North Asia and South Asia. Each of these geographic segments has responsibility for selling all of our product lines.

We evaluate segment performance based on revenue and operating income. Revenue for each segment is generally based on customer location where the product is shipped. The operating income reported in our segments excludes corporate and other unallocated amounts. Although such amounts are excluded from the business segment results, they are included in reported consolidated earnings. Corporate and unallocated amounts include litigation settlement expense, goodwill impairment expense, research and development expense, corporate expense, stock-based compensation expense, inventory write-offs and restructuring and other expenses which are not allocated to the segments.

We have three major product categories: traditional storage, secure and scalable storage, and electronics and accessories.

Traditional storage products include optical products, magnetic products and other traditional storage media products. Optical products primarily include DVDs, CDs and Blu-ray disc recordable media. Magnetic products primarily include data storage tape media. Other traditional storage products primarily include optical drives and audio and video tape media. Secure and scalable products include flash memory and hard disk drive products, including secure USB flash drives, external hard disk drives, removable hard disk drives and solid state drives. Electronics and accessories primarily include CD players, alarm clocks, portable boom boxes, MP3 players, Apple iPad®, iPod® and iPhone® accessories, headphones, speakers and gaming accessories.
