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?

“Liquidation” means “broke”. This has nothing to do with public or private.

“Private” means that shares in your company cannot be purchased by the general public.
