Basis Of Presentation	Oct. 31, 2011
Basis Of Presentation [Abstract]
Basis Of Presentation	(2) BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of a normal recurring nature) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes for the year ended July 31, 2011, which are contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on October 14, 2011. The results for the three months ended October 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company considers events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before the issuance of financial statements to provide additional evidence relative to certain estimates or to identify matters that require additional disclosure. For the period ended October 31, 2011, the Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure through the date these financial statements were filed.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for organization, consolidation and basis of presentation of financial statements disclosure.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Oct. 31, 2011
Recent Accounting Pronouncements [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	(3) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2011-08, "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment" which is intended to reduce the complexity and costs related to testing goodwill for impairment. ASU 2011-08 allows an entity the option to make a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of goodwill impairment in order to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test already included in Topic 350. An entity will no longer be required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines, based on its qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. ASU 2011-08 also expands upon the examples of events and circumstances that an entity should consider between annual impairment tests in determining whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The amended guidance will be effective for the Company beginning August 1, 2012. We do not anticipate a material impact on our financial statements upon adoption. In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance on presentation of comprehensive income. The new guidance eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of stockholders' equity. Instead, an entity will be required to present either a continuous statement of net income and other comprehensive income or two separate but consecutive statements. The new guidance will be effective for the Company beginning August 1, 2012. In May 2011, the FASB issued guidance to amend the accounting and disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The new guidance limits the highest-and-best-use measure to nonfinancial assets, permits certain financial assets and liabilities with offsetting positions in market or counterparty credits risks to be measured at a net basis, and provides guidance on the applicability of premiums and discounts. Additionally, the new guidance expands the disclosures on Level 3 inputs by requiring quantitative disclosure of the unobservable inputs and assumptions, as well as description of the valuation processes and the sensitivity of the fair value changes in unobservable inputs. The new guidance will be effective for the Company beginning on February 1, 2012. Other than requiring additional disclosures, we do not anticipate material impacts on our financial statements upon adoption.

Goodwill And Intangible Assets [Abstract]

Goodwill And Intangible Assets

(4) GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The Company conducts its goodwill impairment test on July 31 of each fiscal year. In addition, if and when events or circumstances change that could reduce the fair value of any of its reporting units below its carrying value, an interim test would be performed. In making this assessment, the Company relies on a number of factors including operating results, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows, and transactions and marketplace data. The Company's reporting units are the same as the operating segments: Americas, Asia, Europe, e-Business, ModusLink PTS and TFL.

The Company's remaining goodwill of $3.1 million as of October 31, 2011 relates to the Company's e-Business reporting unit. There were no indicators of impairment identified related to the Company's e-Business reporting unit during the three months ended October 31, 2011.

The carrying amount of goodwill allocated to the Company's reportable segments is as follows:


	Americas			Asia			Europe			TFL			All Other			Consolidated Total
	(in thousands)
Balance as of July 31, 2011
Goodwill	$	94,477		$	73,948		$	30,108		$	16,299		$	5,857		$	220,689

Also discloses (a) for amortizable intangibles assets in total and by major class, the gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization, the total amortization expense for the period, and the estimated aggregate amortization expense for each of the five succeeding fiscal years, (b) for intangible assets not subject to amortization the carrying amount in total and by major class, and (c) for goodwill, in total and for each reportable segment, the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill during the period (including the aggregate amount of goodwill acquired, the aggregate amount of impairment losses recognized, and the amount of goodwill included in the gain (loss) on disposal of a reporting unit). If any part of goodwill has not been allocated to a reportable segment, discloses the unallocated amount and the reasons for not allocating. For each impairment loss recognized related to an intangible asset (excluding goodwill), discloses: (a) a description of the impaired intangible asset and the facts and circumstances leading to the impairment, (b) the amount of the impairment loss and the method for determining fair value, (c) the caption in the income statement or the statement of activities in which the impairment loss is aggregated, and (d) the segment in which the impaired intangible asset is reported. For each goodwill impairment loss recognized, discloses: (a) a description of the facts and circumstances leading to the impairment, (b) the amount of the impairment loss and the method of determining the fair value of the associated reporting unit, and (c) if a recognized impairment loss is an estimate not finalized and the reasons why the estimate is not final. May also disclose the nature and amount of any significant adjustments made to a previous estimate of an impairment loss.

Share-Based Payments

(5) SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

Stock options for the purchase of approximately 0.6 million shares of the Company's common stock were awarded to executives during the three months ended October 31, 2011 at a weighted average exercise price of $3.58 per share. The weighted average option fair value was $1.69 per share. The weighted average option fair value was calculated using the binominal-lattice model with the following weighted average assumptions: expected volatility of 59.71%, risk-free rate of 0.87% and expected life of 4.66 years.

Additionally, approximately 25,000 nonvested shares were awarded to executives during the three months ended October 31, 2011 at a weighted average fair value of $4.18 per share. The fair value of nonvested shares is determined based on the market price of the Company's common stock on the grant date.

The following table summarizes share-based compensation expense related to employee stock options, employee stock purchases and nonvested shares for the three months ended October 31, 2011 and 2010, which was allocated as follows:

(7) RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES

The following table summarizes the activity in the restructuring accrual for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2011:


	Employee Related Expenses			Contractual Obligations			Asset Impairments		Total
	(in thousands)
Accrued restructuring balance at July 31, 2011	$	296		$	1,168		$	—	$	1,464

Restructuring charges		633			138			—		771
Restructuring adjustments		(174	)		158			—		(16	)
Cash paid		(9	)		(265	)		—		(274	)

Accrued restructuring balance at October 31, 2011	$	746		$	1,199		$	—	$	1,945

It is expected that the payments of employee-related charges will be substantially completed during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2012. The remaining contractual obligations primarily relate to facility lease obligations for vacant space resulting from the previous restructuring activities of the Company. The Company anticipates that contractual obligations will be substantially fulfilled by September 2012.

The net restructuring charges for the three months ended October 31, 2011 and 2010 would have been allocated as follows had the Company recorded the expense and adjustments within the functional department of the restructured activities:


	Three Months Ended October 31,
	2011		2010
Cost of revenue	$	427	$	647
Selling, general and administrative		328		142

	$	755	$	789

The $0.8 million restructuring charge recorded during the three months ended October 31, 2011 consisted of approximately $0.2 million related to the workforce reduction of 9 employees in Raleigh, North Carolina and $0.5 million for the workforce reduction of 144 employees in China. Also, approximately $0.1 million of the restructuring charge related to certain contractual obligations in connection with the restructuring of facilities in Raleigh, North Carolina.

During the three months ended October 31, 2010, the Company recorded a net restructuring charge of approximately $0.8 million. The $0.8 million charge recorded during the three months ended October 31, 2010, consisted of approximately $0.8 million related to the workforce reduction of 44 employees in the Americas and Asia, which was partially offset by $27 thousand due to changes in estimates for previously recorded employee-related expenses and facilities lease obligations primarily based on changes to the underlying assumptions.

The following table summarizes the restructuring accrual by reportable segment and the Corporate-level activity for the three months ended October 31, 2011:


	Americas			Asia		Europe			Corporate-level Activity		Consolidated Total

Segment Information [Abstract]

Segment Information

(8) SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company has six operating segments: Americas; Asia; Europe; e-Business; ModusLink PTS and TFL. Based on the information provided to the Company's chief operating decision-maker ("CODM") for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance and quantitative thresholds, the Company has determined that it has four reportable segments: Americas; Asia; Europe and TFL. The Company reports the ModusLink PTS operating segment in aggregation with the Americas operating segment as part of the Americas reportable segment. In addition to its four reportable segments, the Company reports an All other category. The All other category represents the e-Business operating segment. The Company also has Corporate-level activity, which consists primarily of costs associated with certain corporate administrative functions such as legal and finance, which are not allocated to the Company's reportable segments and administration costs related to the Company's venture capital activities. The Corporate-level activity balance sheet information includes cash and cash equivalents, available-for-sale securities, investments and other assets, which are not identifiable to the operations of the Company's operating segments.

Management evaluates segment performance based on segment net revenue, operating income (loss) and "adjusted operating income", which is defined as the operating income (loss) excluding net charges related to depreciation, long-lived asset impairment, restructuring, amortization of intangible assets and share-based compensation. These items are excluded because they may be considered to be of a non-operational or non-cash nature. Historically, the Company has recorded significant impairment and restructuring charges and therefore management uses adjusted operating income to assist in evaluating the performance of the Company's core operations.

Summarized financial information of the Company's continuing operations by operating segment is as follows:

Earnings Per Share

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Share

(9) EARNINGS PER SHARE

The Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, "Earnings per Share." Under ASC Topic 260-10, unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. Certain of the Company's restricted stock are considered participating securities because they contain non-forfeitable rights to dividend equivalents.

Under the two-class method, net income is reduced by the amount of dividends declared in the period for each class of common stock and participating securities. The remaining undistributed earnings are then allocated to common stock and participating securities as if all of the net income for the period had been distributed. Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is calculated by dividing net income allocable to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income allocable to common shares by the weighted-average number of common shares for the period, as adjusted for the potential dilutive effect of non-participating share-based awards. The following table reconciles earnings per share for the three months ended October 31, 2011 and 2010.


	Three Months Ended October 31,

Weighted-average number of common and potential common shares		43,318			43,309

For the three months ended October 31, 2011 and 2010, approximately 2.4 million and 2.3 million, respectively, common stock equivalent shares were excluded from the denominator in the calculation of diluted earnings per share as their inclusion would have been antidilutive.

Inventories

Inventories [Abstract]

Inventories

(11) INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by both the moving average and the first-in, first-out methods. Materials that the Company typically procures on behalf of its clients that are included in inventory include materials such as compact discs, printed materials, manuals, labels, hardware accessories, hard disk drives, consumer packaging, shipping boxes and labels, power cords and cables for client-owned electronic devices.

Inventories consisted of the following:


	October 31, 2011		July 31, 2011
	(in thousands)
Raw materials	$	59,872	$	47,159
Work-in-process		5,198		2,101
Finished goods		29,839		27,842

	$	94,909	$	77,102

The Company values the inventory at the lower of cost or market. The Company continuously monitors inventory balances and records inventory provisions for any excess of the cost of the inventory over its estimated market value. The Company also monitors inventory balances for obsolescence and excess quantities as compared to projected demands. The Company's inventory methodology is based on assumptions about average shelf life of inventory, forecasted volumes, forecasted selling prices, write-down history of inventory and market conditions. While such assumptions may change from period to period, in determining the net realizable value of its inventories, the Company uses the best information available as of the balance sheet date. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected, or the Company experiences a higher incidence of inventory obsolescence because of rapidly changing technology and customer requirements, additional inventory provisions may be required. Once established, write-downs of inventory are considered permanent adjustments to the cost basis of inventory and cannot be reversed due to subsequent increases in demand forecasts. Accordingly, if inventory previously written down to its net realizable value is subsequently sold, gross profit margins would be favorably impacted.

Share Repurchase Programs	3 Months Ended
Share Repurchase Programs	Oct. 31, 2011
Share Repurchase Programs [Abstract]
Share Repurchase Programs	(13) SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAMS In June 2010, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $10.0 million of the Company's common stock from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions over an eighteen month period, (the "June 2010 Repurchase Program"). The timing and amount of any shares repurchased was to be determined by the Company's management based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors. Repurchases could also be made under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, which permit shares to be repurchased when the Company might otherwise be precluded from doing so under insider trading laws. The Company retired and returned repurchased shares to the Company's authorized, but not issued or outstanding common stock. The June 2010 Repurchase Program was funded using the Company's working capital. In total, the Company repurchased an aggregate of approximately 0.5 million shares at a cost of approximately $3.4 million under the June 2010 Repurchase Program. During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2011, the Company declared and paid a special cash dividend of $40.0 million in the aggregate, which was funded with available cash on hand and included amounts remaining under the June 2010 Repurchase Program. Accordingly, no further repurchases have been made under the June 2010 Repurchase Program.

Income Taxes	3 Months Ended
Income Taxes	Oct. 31, 2011
Income Taxes [Abstract]
Income Taxes	(14) INCOME TAXES The Company operates in multiple taxing jurisdictions, both within and outside of the United States. As of October 31, 2011 and July 31, 2011, the total amount of the liability for unrecognized tax benefits related to federal, state and foreign taxes was approximately $6.0 million for both periods. In accordance with the Company's accounting policy, interest related to unrecognized tax benefits is included in the provision of income taxes line of the Consolidated Statement of Operations. For the periods ended October 31, 2011 and July 31, 2011, the Company has not recognized any material interest expense related to uncertain tax positions. As of October 31, 2011 and July 31, 2011, the Company had recorded liabilities for interest expense related to uncertain tax positions in the amount of $152 thousand and $130 thousand respectively. The Company did not accrue for penalties related to income tax positions as there were no income tax positions that required the Company to accrue penalties. The Company does not expect that the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change significantly in the next twelve months. For the three months ended October 31, 2011, the Company was profitable in certain jurisdictions where the Company operates, resulting in an income tax expense using enacted rates in those jurisdictions. The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax and various state, local and international income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. The federal and state tax returns are generally subject to tax examinations for the tax years ended July 31, 2008 through July 31, 2011. To the extent the Company has tax attribute carryforwards, the tax year in which the attribute was generated may still be adjusted upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities to the extent utilized in a future period. In addition, a number of tax years remain subject to examination by the appropriate government agencies for certain countries in the Europe and Asia regions. In Europe, the Company's 2005 through 2011 tax years remain subject to examination in most locations, while the Company's 2000 through 2011 tax years remain subject to examination in most Asia locations. The Company has certain deferred tax benefits, including those generated by net operating losses and certain other tax attributes (collectively, the "Tax Benefits"). The Company's ability to use these Tax Benefits could be substantially limited if it were to experience an "ownership change," as defined under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). In general, an ownership change would occur if there is a greater than 50-percentage point change in ownership of securities by stockholders owning (or deemed to own under Section 382 of the Code) five percent or more of a corporation's securities over a rolling three-year period. Accordingly, on October 17, 2011, the Company's Board of Directors adopted a Tax Benefit Preservation Plan between the Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, as rights agent (as amended from time to time, the "Tax Plan"). The Tax Plan reduces the likelihood that changes in the Company's investor base have the unintended effect of limiting the Company's use of its Tax Benefits. The Tax Plan is intended to require any person acquiring shares of the Company's securities equal to or exceeding 4.99% of the Company's outstanding shares to obtain the approval of the Board of Directors. This would protect the Tax Benefits because changes in ownership by a person owning less than 4.99% of the Company's stock are not included in the calculation of "ownership change" for purposes of Section 382 of the Code.

@Ventures Investments	3 Months Ended
@Ventures Investments	Oct. 31, 2011
@Ventures Investments [Abstract]
@Ventures Investments	(16) @VENTURES INVESTMENTS The Company maintains interests in several privately held companies primarily through its interests in two venture capital funds which invest as "@Ventures." The Company invests in early stage technology companies. These investments are generally made in connection with a round of financing with other third-party investors. During the three months ended October 31, 2011 and 2010, approximately $1.1 million and $0.7 million, respectively was invested by @Ventures in privately held companies. At October 31, 2011 and July 31, 2011, the Company's carrying value of investments in privately held companies was approximately $12.6 million and $12.0 million, respectively. During the three months ended October 31, 2011 and 2010 the Company recorded $18 thousand and $0.4 million, respectively, of impairment charges related to certain investments in the @Ventures portfolio of companies. During the three months ended October 31, 2011 and October 31, 2010, @Ventures did not receive any distributions from its investments. Investments in which the Company's interest is less than 20% and which are not classified as available-for-sale securities are carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value unless it is determined that the Company exercises significant influence over the investee company, in which case the equity method of accounting is used. For those investments in which the Company's voting interest is between 20% and 50%, the equity method of accounting is generally used. Under this method, the investment balance, originally recorded at cost, is adjusted to recognize the Company's share of net earnings or losses of the investee company as they occur, limited to the extent of the Company's investment in, advances to and commitments for the investee. These adjustments are reflected in "Equity in losses of affiliates and impairments" in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company assesses the need to record impairment losses on its investments and records such losses when the impairment of an investment is determined to be other than temporary in nature. The process of assessing whether a particular investment's net realizable value is less than its carrying cost requires a significant amount of judgment. In making this judgment, the Company carefully considers the investee's cash position, projected cash flows (both short and long-term), financing needs, recent financing rounds, most recent valuation data, the current investing environment, management/ownership changes and competition. The valuation process is based primarily on information that the Company requests from these privately held companies and is not subject to the same disclosure and audit requirements as the reports required of U.S. public companies. As such, the reliability and the accuracy of the data may vary.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for equity investment, or group of investments, for which combined disclosure is appropriate, including: (a) the name of each investee and percentage of ownership of common stock, (b) accounting policies for investments in common stock, (c) difference between the amount at which the investment is carried and the amount of underlying equity in net assets and the accounting treatment of the difference, (d) the total fair value of each identified investment for which a market value is available, (e) summarized information as to assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the investees (for investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries, common stock of joint ventures, or other investments using the equity method), and (f) material effects of possible conversions, exercises, or contingent issuances of the investee. Other disclosures include (a) the names of any investee in which the investor owns 20 percent or more of the voting stock and investment is not accounted for using the equity method, and the reasons why not, and (b) the names of any investee in which the investor owns less than 20 percent of the voting stock and the investment is accounted for using the equity method, and the reasons why it is.
