In her diploma thesis, she analysed how cultural differences shape the success or failure of Sino-German co-operation projects, and whether the different co-operation partners perceived them as problems.
The focus of her interest has been on cross-cultural management and the construction of (cultural) identity ever since. In 1996, Kerstin Nagels graduated from the MA Area Studies China Programme at the School of Oriental and African Studies, London.
