In this chapter we introduce and discuss the findings from a large, UK e-science research project. The GOLD project (Morris et al., 2004) built upon earlier e-science success but was unusual in being focused upon taking Grid computing beyond its use by scientists and academics and to explore its use for commercial ends. The intention was to focus upon the development, production, and marketing of specialty, high profit margin chemicals. In this industry sector an economic case could be made that “new ways of working based around dynamic virtual organizational structures” were needed.
