Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Business Segment Information BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION
We manage our operations, assess performance, and report earnings under the following reportable segments:
•Americas;
•Asia;
•Europe;
•Middle East and India; and
•Corporate and other.
Our reportable segments reflect the manner in which our chief operating decision maker reviews results and allocates resources. We evaluate the performance of our segments based upon segment operating income. Except for the Corporate and other segment, each reportable segment meets the definition of an operating segment and does not include the aggregation of multiple operating segments. Our Corporate and other segment includes the aggregation of two operating segments that meet the aggregation criteria under GAAP.
