Abstract Big data brings a transformative impact, as well as many challenges, to firms. Referring to IT Capability, scholars propose the concept of big data capability(BDC).However, the definition, the nature and the dimensions of BDC are not unified, which is not conducive to research progress. This paper reviews the existing research on BDC, elaborates its connotation and differences with similar constructs, and integrates the dimensions of it based on RBV. The organizational values brought by BDC are also summarized. Finally, four research prospects are proposed on the basis of current research. First, distinguish BDC from Big Data-Enabled Capability and exploring the value realization mechanism of BDC. Second, further clarify the process of how big data resources transform into BDC. Third, further explore the differences in BDC of different types and the influencing factors. Fourth, refer to the similar constructs and further integrate the trend of fragmentation of related theories. The research indicates the direction for further deepening the research on BDC.
