Morphology

business + environmental + analysis

The phrase is compositionally transparent: 'business' (a company) + 'environmental' (relating to surrounding or external factors) + 'analysis' (systematic examination) straightforwardly yields 'analysis of the business environment or external factors affecting a business.' This modifier–head structure is a regular compositional pattern (e.g., Spanish 'análisis del entorno empresarial'), so a B1 learner who knows the constituents can predict the meaning.

Etymology

The term business environmental analysis comes from the idea of looking at a business like a plant: you check its environmental parts—weather, soil and other plants—and do an analysis to see what helps or harms it. So the phrase means studying the outside 'factors' that create 'risks' or 'opportunities' for a company.
