This response has three objectives. The first is to reiterate our conceptualization of the scanning construct and to distinguish it from the potential determinants of scanning. The second is to reinforce Torraco's recommendation regarding the investigation of the antecedents of training centrality. Finally, we present an expanded view of the training function, drawing a link between centrality and movement toward a continuous‐learning philosophy in organizations.
