This article reads more like an argument for the use of SROI than a decsription of it. There is no discussion of pros and cons; no consideration of criticisms. - Dr. P. Lankton 09:31, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

I have included sections on 'potential limitations' and 'potential benefits' which incorporates areas of criticism and concern about the methodology. I have also expanded the descriptive sections of the article. Needs more work but addresses your concerns? 217.158.45.4 (talk) 15:48, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I want to edit the first 2 paragraphs but don't see how. -Sara Olsen, June 12 2008 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Saramolsen (talkcontribs) 22:58, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've made some amendments and added some references/inline citations. There's still plenty more work that could be done on this page though. Doctor Girl (talk) 14:36, 2 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nice work. Thanks!

I added a section on further applications of SROI, i.e. how it has been applied and adapted for other types of analyses. In particular i used the example of the PSROI framework based on SROI costing methods. New editor, comments welcome!! Thanks. C.peterson32 (talk) 17:09, 4 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Made change to note that Cost Benefit Analysis also deals with social and environmental impacts as these are key considerations in evaluating economic efficiency. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:44B8:410B:8900:813B:951F:1D68:8137 (talk) 02:03, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Monetisation Principle

[edit]

I removed the following from the Monetisation Princple section: "On the pro side, the reasoning is as follows: The question of how individuals and societies value one thing compared with another continues to absorb philosophers, psychologists, social scientists and economists. But having to get on with life, the price of things reveals peoples’ preferences for one thing over another." No citation, and also a very poorly written piece.202.74.169.57 (talk) 06:55, 14 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

I don't know how to change the references. Maybe someone can link the Social Return on Investment Position Paper, New Philanthropy Capital? http://www.thinknpc.org/publications/social-return-on-investment-position-paper/

It is mentioned in Reference 9 and 11. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.233.66.12 (talk) 10:26, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
