On the cover: In recent years the number of international airline alliances has increased. In "National Culture and Competitive Strategy Disclosure in Global Airline Strategic Alliances," Catherine Giapponi and Carl Scheraga investigate the intensity of competitive strategy disclosure by members of three major airline alliances. They also examine the relationship between the intensity of disclosure and the cultural identity of each of the alliance members.
