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?

I appreciate you trying to get more knowledgeable on this topic, and no offense, but I don’t think your story is going to be very good. The concept is somewhat easy to understand, but the details are pretty technical. If you want to read a good book about a famous going private transaction, read Barbarians at the Gate. It is a classic/legendary business book.
