His strategy at the moment is to break the company up. To really make that work he needs to go private.

Leaving aside the possible share price movements in the short term, there is no reason for Michael Dell to change his turn around strategy if Dell ends up staying public. It is not all that strange for the shareholders to demand a share of the possible returns and the risks that may come from selling the PC business and moving into servers and services, if that is indeed the plan. IBM made a similar move without going private first. Ability to stay out of quarterly analyst calls may make life easier for a CEO, but it is not crucial.
