Theory and observations about the positive influence of robust decision downloading among the employees within single companies can be related to the context of Collaborative Networks were a moderator makes decisions on behalf of the network. Especially, configuration decisions that generate a Virtual Enterprise arranged from the network members must be downloaded robustly within the network. Otherwise, the network collaboration climate can be damaged since in such decisions the network is separated in members that are included and others that are excluded from participation in the Virtual Enterprise. We present an information technological service that generates and downloads explanations from data about the network and about configuration decisions within the network. Through this service robust decision downloading can be performed effectively and with little time effort by moderators thus contributing to a successful network.
