Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from combining 'situation' (circumstances or prevailing conditions) with 'analysis' (systematic examination): it literally denotes an analysis of a situation. This Noun+Noun compositional pattern is common and cross-linguistically transparent, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily understand it.
Etymology
Situation analysis links situation, the scene around a business, and analysis, a careful look; picture someone on a hill making a map of everything happening below. That's why it means 'a careful study of what is happening so you can find opportunities and problems'.
