Despite numerous studies in this area, interest has not faded away. To this end, the objectives of this study were to identify the determinants of strategic alternatives to better understand what drives airlines into such alliances and to identify factors that affect the performance of the alliances. The research was done through descriptive survey design, which involved all airlines with scheduled flights in and out of Kenya totaling thirty six (42). The target population was CEOs or senior managers within the airlines, which had response rate of 92.7%.

Acknowledgements I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Klaus Berberich for giving me an oppor- tunity to work under his guidance. This work is made possible with his unconditional support, expert scientific advice, and futuristic vision. However, the encouraging aspect of working under him was the exceptional freedom he granted to pursue challenging problems from various fields of information science (retrieval, summarization, and spatiotemporal text mining). In addition, our common interest in music that often triggered very interesting conversations made work even more enjoyable. I am extremely thankful to Gerhard Weikum for supporting me throughout my Master’sand Ph.D studies. His high standards of conducting research constantly inspired and trained me to become a better researcher. I also thank the additional reviewers and examiners, Dietrich Klakow and Claudia Hauff for providing valuable feedback for further improvements of this work. I acknowledge that this work would have not been possible without the influence, teachings, and guidance of several people.
