%X This research combines the literature on social entrepreneurship and international corporate
entrepreneurship to determine the relevance financial resources and information provided by
different entities have for the innovation processes of international corporate entrepreneurs. We
consider financing supplied by other companies, by national public sources, and by foreign
sources; information might come from market or research sources. The study adopts an empirical
approach, analyzing 4,748 international entrepreneurial Spanish firms by employing the partial
least squares technique. Our results show the relevance of information and financing for
international corporate entrepreneurs in developing strategic and social innovations. The latter is
especially relevant because of its contribution to the creation of value in terms of employment
enhancement and environmental protection. Our results also suggest that the source that provides
the resource conditions the objectives that these entrepreneurs pursue when developing
innovations, allowing them to maintain their competitive position in international markets and to
generate social and economic value globally.
