Abstract	The Configurational Theory of Innovation Diffusion, Planned Change, and Development, or the CLER model, can be an effective tool for planning change events such as those involved in developing or improving a vocational education program. The C in the CLER model stands for configurations and configurational relationships among and between the social entities involved in any dissemination event, and the L stands for linkages within and between the various configurations. The E stands for the environment(s) surrounding the configurations constituting the planner (innovator) system and the client (adopter) system. Finally, the R stands for resources available to the planner system to promote the dissemination and to the client system for incorporation of the innovation being disseminated. The concepts of configuration mapping and linkage typing are both a part of the structural theory of this model. The CLER model recognizes four configurations: individuals; groups; institutions or organizations; and cultures, subcultures, and communities. Configuration mapping is the process of establishing the boundaries for the planner system and the adopter system involved in a change episode, and linkage is the mutual stance between innovators and adopters who are able to receive or reject information and/or influence each other. Configuration mapping and linkage typing can and have been used together in several developed and developing nations to facilitate development, delivery, and improvement of vocational programs. (MN)
