Portfolio Project: 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 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 effects 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
Potential benefits brought about by this venture

Your paper should also meet the following requirements:

Be 8-10 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 and APA Requirements.
