Upward dissent strategies
Upward dissent strategies are the one that measures how the employees are to express their dissent to management they use of various strategies for dissent expression. There are some strategies that can be used by the employees to express their dissent to the management. One of them is prosocial expressions which, in general, involve providing the solutions accompanied with facts along with dissent or repetition. The upward dissent strategies are in five different categories; direct-factual appeal, repetition, solution presentation, circumvention and threatening resignation (Kassing, Jeffrey).

Repetition is where an employee expresses dissent to the organization on a certain matter repeatedly.
The next is solution presentation, and it involves the employees providing a solution to an issue with or without facts. Circumvention is where the employee seeks assistance from the higher level in an organization.

He would respond to every question on the risk the firm would face when asked by directors. Looking at the situation thus Roseman was able to apply the upward dissent strategies and, in this case, the most which he used was repetition. It's noted that he made at least three appearances to the board of directors.
He applied the other strategy of solution presentation...
