Morphology

company-wide = company + wide (transparent) = company + wide

The meaning is directly derived from 'company' + 'wide' meaning 'throughout or affecting the whole company', which is readily understandable.

Etymology

Company-wide is a simple compound of company and wide, like nation-wide or worldwide. It means 'across' or 'throughout' the whole company, so something company-wide affects every part and every person in the company.
