People and organizations should work together for the greater good. This article seeks to identify the categories of co-opetition in post-Corona organizations compared to before. For this purpose, it is used a qualitative approach. The saturation method was used to determine the number of participants and the independent coders’ method was used to confirm the trustworthiness of the research. The results of this study have identified 4 categories in the field of co-opetition in organizations after COVID-19. These categories are more isolation because of lockdown, improving the relations between organizations and citizens, increasing co-opetition of organizations, and virtualization of most works.
