What does it mean for a company to go private? Is it the same as liquidation? Is it a good thing for the company?

I’m writing a story about a company with a new leader focused on making stock prices rise. I want to get the company to do basically the opposite of making their company public. From what I’ve read, you don’t want to do buybacks as a company and going private might be equally as bad, but is it?

Going private: a small group of investors buy all of the outstanding stock held by other parties and then delist the stock so it can’t trade publicly anymore.

It isn’t really good or bad but can be either based on execution and the owners’ goals.
