Enterprise Systems have become a critical feature of organisations not only for their integrative functions but also because they have become collectors and repositories of organisational data. In the past, this data was subject to relatively simplistic analysis, which could provide important but still basic information for management decision-making. With the emergence of new technologies, both data collection and analysis have become increasingly sophisticated and varied. This has led to significant improvements in the quality and timeliness of the information that can be used by management in decision-making and strategic planning. Even how managers use this information is being shaped by technologies that can augment human knowledge to further improve decision-making. With reviewing the literature, this editorial paper explains the scope of emerging technology, enterprise systems and the impacts on knowledge management and briefly introduces the articles included in this issue.

Developing the economic, environmental, and social sustainability of urban environments is challenging due to the complex and interconnected nature of the context and objectives. In order to be successful in this challenging environment, professionals working in the urban development arena should have a holistic understanding of the different pillars of sustainable development, as well as various competencies and skills. This paper looks at sustainable urban development (SUD) from the perspective of the skills and competencies required and identifies effective pedagogic practices that could help educate future professionals. In particular, we explore interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary learning, reflective thinking, and experiential learning, which are needed for understanding various aspects of a complex phenomenon, collaborating with professionals from different fields and coming up with novel and constructive ways of solving complex problems. We first examine these through reviewing and analyzing relevant literature on education for sustainable development, with a focus on SUD. Then, we explore the application of these approaches in practice by describing and analyzing a newly introduced degree program at Tampere University, Finland.
