ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The purpose of this research is to find or formulate a few, robust conceptual frameworks that can enable me to better answer—from a business ethics and South African corporate governance perspective—a number of questions regarding the relationships amongst five fields, frameworks and/or functions that feature in the governance and management of the relationship between business and society, viz. business ethics, corporate social responsibility, stakeholder relations, sustainability and corporate citizenship. This is done by strengthening and extending Schwartz and Carroll’s (2008) research on integrating and unifying these five frameworks, which compete for ‘pre-eminence’ in the field of business and society. The main outputs of their research are a conceptual framework for the comparative analysis of the five frameworks, and a proposed Value, Balance and Accountability (VBA) Model that can serve as a common, core construct in the field of business and society. Their two conceptual frameworks, strengthened through their incorporation into a concentric, conceptual framework of my own that highlights the importance of applied (business) ethics, are then used to analyse—and are checked against—the Institute of Directors of South Africa’s (IODSA’s) King Committee’s guidance on corporate governance. The analysis confirms the validity of the conceptual framework and VBA model in that context, and their usefulness for the explanatory purposes stated above. AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die doel van hierdie navorsing is om ‘n paar, sterk konseptuele raamwerke te vind of te formuleer wat vir my kan help in die beantwording van ‘n aantal vraagstukke met betrekking tot die verhoudinge tussen die velde, raamwerke en korporatiewe funksies van besigheidsetiek, korporatiewe sosiale verantwoordelikheid, verhoudings met belanghebbendes, volhoubaarheid, en korporatiewe burgerskap. Hierde navorsing word vanaf ‘n besigheidsetiek en korporatiewe bestuursperspektief benader. Die vyf velde, raamwerke en korporatiewe funksies vertoon prominent in die bestuur van die verhoudinge tussen besigheid en die samelewing. Die navorsingsdoel word bereik deur die versterking en uitbreiding van Schwartz en Carroll (2008) se navorsing oor die integrering en vereniging van die vyf raamwerke in daardie konteks. Die hoof resultate van hulle navorsing is ‘n konseptuele raamwerk vir die vergelykende ontleding van die vyf raamwerke, sowel as ‘n voorgestelde Value, Balance and Accountability (VBA) model wat as ‘n kern konstruk in die veld van besigheid en die samelewing kan dien. Hulle twee konseptuele raamwerke, versterk deur hulle inkorporering in ‘n konsentries, konseptuele raamwerk wat ek self ontwikkel het, word dan uitgebrei en gebruik om die Institute of Directors of South Africa’s (IODSA’s) King Committee se leiding op korporatiewe bestuur te ontleed, en die raamself self to beoordeel. Die ontleding bevestig wel die geldigheid van die konseptuele raamwerk en die VBA model in daardie konteks, sowel as die bruikbaarheid van die raamwerk en model vir die verklarende doeleindes wat hierbo geidentifiseer is.
