Morphology

internal + analysis

The meaning is directly compositional: 'internal' (inside an organization) combined with 'analysis' (systematic examination) yields an examination of internal aspects. This is a common, cross-linguistically transparent nominal construction that a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand.

Etymology

Internal analysis is like a doctor's check-up for a company: you look internal, meaning 'inside', to find strong and weak points and make a careful analysis. So, it means 'a careful check of a company's own resources and problems'.
