You don't need to take your company public, you know?
You can just stay its sole owner, then no one can force you to do anything with it (except for a judge).

Which countries?

Any country which has the concept of private property, and a relatively robust political and legal system.

We recently had to get rid of a vendor at work because the private company was bought out by a foreign power. Can't say more than that. Kinda sucks as now we have to replace some of the infa.

Against their will? Or did they make a choice because the offer was too good?

No idea.

Depends on the laws. In certain situations, you may be forced to sell part/all of you company.

Besides the legal ways, someone may threaten you or something demanding that you sell it, its not impossible.

I think that only happens if you manage to acquire a monopoly and are forced to break up your company - I'm not entirely sure you have to sell parts of it publicly even then

Unless the someone happens to be the owner.
