Bottom of the Pyramid (BoP) organizations are the ones that develop a set of capabilities that contribute to create short- and long-term sustainability values inside and outside the boundaries of BoP ecosystems. Capabilities have an important role in BoP organizations’ strategies that aim to solve BoP issues. Notwithstanding its developments, BoP research still lacks theoretical contributions for the analysis of organizations. We suggest special attention to the need of advancing knowledge on capabilities of BoP organizations because this field is scattered and fragmented, misinterpreted, and still underdeveloped in the literature. We oriented our research formulating and seeking answers to our main question on what are the capabilities needed to enable organizations to create sustainability values in BoP ecosystems? We conducted an integrative review of BoP research for the period from 1998 to 2019, and we found 22 key capabilities of BoP organizations. We organized the capabilities into four major categories including BoP Responsible Consumption, BoP Responsible Business Model, BoP Responsible Management, and BoP Responsible Innovation. We advanced propositions and discussions regarding the capabilities and major categories’ popularity, interdependence and combination, short- and long-term temporal functions, sustainability roles, and effectiveness to address BoP issues. Our article organizes the field of capabilities of BoP organizations; advances contributions and implications for management, organizations, and policymaking; and opens fruitful avenues for future research.

金字塔底层（BoP）组织具有开发一系列功能的能力，这些功能有助于在BoP生态系统边界之内和之外创造短期和长期的可持续性价值。能力在旨在解决BoP问题的BoP组织策略中起着重要作用。尽管发展迅速，但BoP研究仍缺乏对组织分析的理论贡献。我们建议特别注意提高BoP组织能力的知识的必要性，因为该领域是零散的，零散的，被误解的，并且在文献中仍然不发达。我们针对研究制定和寻找主要问题的答案，以使组织能够在BoP生态系统中创造可持续性价值方面需要什么能力？我们对1998年至2019年期间的BoP研究进行了综合审查，发现了BoP组织的22个关键功能。我们将功能分为四个主要类别，包括BoP负责任的消费，BoP负责任的业务模型，BoP负责任的管理和BoP负责任的创新。我们就能力和主要类别的受欢迎程度，相互依存和组合，短期和长期的临时职能，可持续性角色以及解决BoP问题的有效性提出了建议和讨论。我们的文章组织了BoP组织的能力领域；促进对管理，组织和政策制定的贡献和影响；并为将来的研究开辟了富有成果的途径。
