Resulting from the preliminary survey made regarding considering area, the researchers were able to identify a severe problem in this field. So, there is a continuous instability of industrial export earnings in Sri Lanka. Thus, the researchers intended to address why such a situation has taken place. Meanwhile, the study makes an attempt to achieve four objectives namely key objectives and specific objectives in this area and research questions raised in this study and this study was how far industrial exports instability makes influence on economic growth. A strong attempt was made to fill up the research gap none has sought so far. Accordingly, four objectives were set for getting a deeper understanding about the chosen field. Consistent with each objective, three research questions were also raised for more clarification. Meanwhile, based on the relationship among variables represented in the conceptual model, five hypotheses were formulated. And also, for the purpose of getting the study systematic, better methodological choice was also made and accordingly the deductive method was used for postulating the theme of the study.
