Morphology
business + environment + analysis
The phrase is fully compositional: it literally means an 'analysis' (systematic examination) of the 'environment' (conditions) of a 'business', so the overall meaning can be inferred from the constituent words. This noun–noun–noun construction follows common cross‑linguistic patterns and would be understandable to a B1 learner who knows the three words.
Etymology
Business environment analysis paints a simple picture: imagine a shop owner walking around and looking at the business and its environment, noticing customers, rivals, rules and the wider market. So, it means checking the 'outside' things that can help or hurt a company and planning what to do.
