A number of papers have been published describing various System Dynamics (SD) models of the Information Systems Investment Appraisal Process from several academic and professional viewpoints. This paper builds on previous papers that provided a catalogue and classification of this work in order to highlight potential areas of research in this field of study and to identify system archetypes at different hierarchical levels and discover new ones. This paper therefore presents an updated taxonomy of System Dynamics Models of Information Systems Investment Appraisal. This paper builds on the earlier taxonomy by widening the scope of the survey of completed SD investigations in the field. The findings from these investigations are briefly described. The taxonomy classifies the completed investigations into five specific areas of concern and six viewpoints.
