Michael Dell Lays Out Plan to Save His Company

Michael Dell first announced plans to take Dell private in early February. Since then, the proposal has encountered resistance from shareholders, including activist investor Carl Icahn, who claims to be ready and able to make a rival bid

On Friday, Mr. Dell filed a presentation with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which lays out his reasons for wanting to take Dell private as well as his broad vision for saving the company he founded 29 years ago. The centerpiece of that vision is fast-tracking the company's shift from focusing on personal computers to enterprise services.
