Formal vs. Informal Approval
取締役会の承認を受ける is a formal term used in legal/business contexts. For informal approvals (e.g., from a manager), use 上司の承認を受ける or 承認を得る.
Word Origin
取締役 (torishimariyaku) = director, 役会 (kai) = meeting/board, 承認 (shōnin) = approval, 受ける (ukeru) = to receive. The phrase combines legal/business terms to describe the formal process of gaining authorization from a board of directors.
Usage Notes
This phrase is typically used in corporate settings when a significant decision (e.g., major investments, mergers, or policy changes) requires formal authorization from the board. The verb 受ける emphasizes the act of receiving approval after a formal process.
