Option #1: Online Venture

You are working to develop an online venture. It is your goal to make a difference. Whether your project is for-profit or not-for-profit, you must raise revenue (in the case of a not-for-profit you must sustain the cause), so you will need to use one of the online business models. In developing a plan, you must take into consideration the potential ethical concerns, social impacts and legal issues involved in undertaking the venture.

In a well-written paper, develop a plan that addresses the above considerations. You should also include the following in your plan:

• a basic overview of the online venture, including its mission;
• the type of online business model to be used for the venture;
• a summary of how this venture will appeal to various cultures;
• an analysis of the affects this venture might have on various cultures;
• any ethical issues this business can address, could encounter, or both;
• potential risks associated with operating an online venture such as this one;
• strategies for protecting privacy;
• discussion of any needed copyrights, trademarks, patents, or trade secrets, if applicable; and
• potential benefits brought about by this venture.

Your paper should also meet the following requirements:

• Be eight to ten pages in length.
• Include at least three references from the readings or outside sources. The CSU-Global Library is a good place to find your sources.
• Follow the CSU-Global Guide to Writing & APA. (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.
