Thesis: How the unsaid shapes decision-making in the boardroom

Despite the institutional importance of supervisory boards (RvCs), scholars have limited insight into boardroom processes. Unveiling the black box of RvC decision-making requires direct observation of what happens in the boardroom and overcoming numerous methodological challenges. This abductive, subjective study reflexively explores the decision-making of RvCs, focusing not on what was said, but on 'the unspoken.'
