We show that the process Ind_(G/H)^G which uses Mansfield's bimodule to induce representations of the crossed product of B by G from those of the restricted crossed product of B by (G/H) is equivalent to the two-stage induction process: Ind_(G/N)^G composed with Ind_(G/H)^(G/N). The proof involves a calculus of symmetric imprimitivity bimodules which relates the bimodule tensor product to the fibred product of the underlying spaces.38 pages, LaTeX, uses Xy-pic; significant reorganization of previous version; short section on regularity of induced representations addedOperator Algebras46L55Induction in stages for crossed products of C*-algebras by maximal coactionstext
