  Mak, - may I suggest you to compare the course content and figure out which course looks more interesting to you?
  
  If you are aspiring for management positions, I'd strongly recommend opting for at least 2 years of work experience.
  
  If setting up your own business isn't on top priority; you should follow above advice. If its on high priority, you should consider exploring entrepreneurial opportunities right away. First step should be to get in touch with a successful entrepreneur who's already doing what you aspire to do.

  Frankly speaking, I dont think a degree will entitle you with manager post. it needs a step by step build up and a degree might help you to climb those steps quickly. This is what i deduced.
  Now as of coming to your query , you would need to know the industry before aspiring to become a manager. only then you will be able to fulfill your role as a manager and as BigK already mentioned you would be needing a little work exp to understand .
  Did you go through what sylabus is being offered in both the courses? please go throguh them first. Then you can acess which one would take you more towards your ambition.

  Did you go through the catalogue at all?
  My opinion won't weigh in for choosing your career.Here is the catalgue for MS in EM.

  please go thorugh it. the catalogue as itself doesnot endorse that you will benefit out of it , but will give you an insight of what it takes to get a MS in EM.
  
  Personally, I am not inclined towards pursuing Management after engineering, though I am not against the whole idea. It really depends on each person's career interest and goals
