Nonperturbative QCD effects on the processes can be systematically e calculated using light-cone expansion and heavy quark effective theory. The applica- h tions of the light-cone approach to studying electroweak and strong interactions and : v hadron structure with semileptonic and radiative decays of beauty hadrons are briefly i reviewed.
