A well-known result of Kothe and Cohen-Kaplansky states that "a commutative ring R has the property that every R-module is a direct sum of cyclic modules if and only if R is an Artinian principal ideal ring". This motivated us to ask the following question: "whether the same is true if one only assumes that every ideal is a direct sum of cyclic modules?" More recently, this question was answered by Behboodi et al., in [J. Algebra 345 (2011) 257-265] for the case R is a finite direct product of commutative Noetherian local rings. The goal of this paper is to answer this question in the case R is a finite direct product of commutative local rings (not necessarily Noetherian) and the structure of such rings is completely described.
