160 Muntean, C.; Hauer, I.; Butuza, A. In negotiation, as well as in most other circumstances, people must make a decision from among a lot of possible decisions, in order to achieve a certain goal. It is perfectly normal for human reasoning to analyse and to compare the possibilities, in order to adopt that decision which permits the best fulfilment of the desired goal. Although we frequently use the term "optimal decision", in most situations this "optimality" is a very complex concept which can't be defined but by mean of a mathematical model. Mathematical models appeared and were used in the process of decision making in business, particularly in negotiation, quite from the necessity to sustain the logical reasoning in negotiation and to manage a great number of factors simultaneously. Furthermore, applying these mathematical models permits the approach of some new qualitative problems, so that it’s not surprising at all the fact that in negotiation there are used more and more mathematical tools, methods and techniques.

GOMBARUME, KOSMAS NJANIKE, ANXIOUS CHARIKINYA * ABSTRACT: This paper reports on the findings of an exploratory research whose main purpose was to investigate the impact of micro finance institutions on the socio economic lives of Zimbabweans. The study sought to establish whether micro finance empowers the poor and reduces poverty. The study was conducted through the use of eighty questionnaires randomly distributed to clients of five micro finance institutions. The study revealed that there is a positive relationship between microcredit and the socio economic lives of people. It was found out that the activities of microfinance institutions resulted in increased social interaction and socio economic sustainability. KEY WORDS: Micro finance; empowerment; socio economic; sustainable development. JEL CLASSIFICATION: A14; G21; O16; O43. 1. INTRODUCTION Micro finance industry is one of the fast growing set of financial driven initiatives aimed at alleviating poverty, aid economic growth and support future growth through financial inclusion. The introduction of the multi currency regime in Zimbabwe has seen the economy improve and notably the financial sector has witnessed significant growth. The economic recovery has also facilitated the increasing growth of micro finance institutions whose main mandate is to reduce poverty through the provision of micro credit to the less privileged people in the society.
