Morphology

environmental + business + analysis

The meaning is directly and transparently derived from combining 'environmental' (pertaining to the environment) with 'business' and 'analysis' — i.e. an analysis of environmental factors related to a business. This modifier + noun + noun composition follows standard English compositional patterns and is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will readily infer the intended meaning.

Etymology

Environmental business analysis paints the picture of a careful study of a company's surroundings: environmental means the outside factors around a business, business means the company, and analysis means a close look. By checking rules, markets and risks near the company, this study shows 'threats' and 'opportunities' and helps managers decide what to do.
