This is a pure curiosity question and may turn out completely devoid of substance.

Let $G$ be a finite group and $H$ a subgroup, and let $V$ and $W$ be two representations of $H$ (representations are finite-dimensional per definitionem, at least per my definitions). With $\otimes$ denoting inner tensor product, how are the two representations $\mathrm{Ind}^G_H\left(V\otimes W\right)$ and $\mathrm{Ind}^G_HV\otimes \mathrm{Ind}^G_HW$ are related to each other? There is a fairly obvious map of representations from the latter to the former, but is it always injective? Conversely, is there a canonical surjection fromneither injective nor surjective in general. I am wondering whether we can say anything about the former todecompositions of the latter?two representations into irreducibles.

Induction of tensor product vs. tensor product of inductions

This is a pure curiosity question and may turn out completely devoid of substance.
