Coopetition describes a phenomenon in which actors cooperate and compete simultaneously. Actors cooperate to grow collective benefits and compete to maximize individual shares. Coopetition is undergirded by concomitantly cooperative and competitive intent. This paper presents catalogs of cooperation and competition goals that are useful for designing business strategies. The content in these goal catalogs is based on an exploratory literature review of scholarly publications in the business and management domains. Hyperlinks are provided to online interactive versions of these goal catalogs as well as bibliographies listing their sources. These goal catalogs are instantiated in an empirical case of businesses in the market of data science professional development programs in Toronto. We adopted an action research methodology to study and intervene in this empirical setting concurrently. Strategies based on recommendations and suggestions from our study are being piloted by focal businesses in this empirical case.
