I present a unifying scheme for hadronic functions that comprises logarithmic corrections due to gluon emission in perturbative QCD, as well as power-behaved corrections of nonperturbative origin. The latter are derived by demanding that perturbatively resummed partonic observables should be analytic in the whole $Q^2$-plane if they are to be related to physical observables measured in experiments. I also show phenomenological consequences of this approach. The focus is on the electromagnetic pion form factor to illustrate both effects, Sudakov logarithms and power corrections in leading order of $\Lambda_{\rm{QCD}}^2/Q^2$. The same approach applied to the inclusive Drell-Yan cross section enables us to perform an absolutely normalized calculation of the leading power correction in $b^2\Lambda_{\rm{QCD}}^2$ (b being the impact parameter), which after exponentiation, gives rise to a nonperturbative Sudakov-type contribution that provides enhancement rather than suppression, hence partly counteracting the perturbative Sudakov suppression.
